After Love follows Mary Hussain, a widow living in Dover, who is stunned to learn new truths about the man she believed she knew. As she travels through memory and geography—across borders and through the late husband’s secret life—she must confront faith, desire, and belonging. With restrained performances and a quietly devastating emotional arc, the film reveals how love can outlive a quiet facade and redefine a family’s sense of home. Cinematic, intimate, and reflective.
