"This is an exquisite film. Extremely beautiful and helpful for anyone suffering loss or grief. An inspiration." Mark Rylance

This mesmerising and beautifully made documentary follows Sussex baker and self taught textile maker Allan Brown as the healing power of nature and slow craft work help him overcome the death of his wife, celebrating her positive spirit and drawing comfort from the circularity of life.

"Poignant and moving, meditative and weirdly hypnotic. A really lovely film, almost like a fairy tale except that it's all true. The Nettle Dress will take you out of yourself, put you in a different place and make you appreciate life." Mark Kermode
