What Aftersun is about

Imagine lying on a Greek island for two weeks, it is 40 degrees, and your husband is on a dive boat from eight till six every day. That is her situation. The air-con in the apartment wheezes, the balcony only gets shade from five, and on the balcony next door sits a young man with nothing planned. Episode 1 is called Where She Can't Reach, and that is exactly what it is about: a spot between the shoulder blades she cannot get to on her own, and a tube of aftersun she passes him over the railing.

After that the air-con breaks. Not by chance, but as an episode title: The Air-Con Dies. Two apartments, one of them unbearably hot, and in the other somebody has left the door open. The siesta becomes a shared habit, the cove behind the village a meeting place, the ouzo in the evening an excuse. Her husband comes back from the boat with salt in his hair and talks about groupers. She listens. She nods. She has had a day of her own.

Aftersun is the series where you feel the heat along with them. Everything is slow, everything sticks, and every decision is made in the midday hour when nobody is looking. The question is not whether something happens. The question is whether, at the end of the two weeks, anyone steps off the plane still in the same marriage. Scandals and Getaways, 6 episodes, and the last one shares its name with the series. What that means, you only find out there.
