There's Always Hope is a 2021 British drama film written and directed by Tim Lewiston. An international co-production between England and Portugal, the film premiered in competition at the Newport Beach Film Festival.[1] The cast includes Colm Meaney, Hannah Chinn, Kate Ashfield, John Light, and Brenda Meaney.[2]
There's Always Hope follows the story of Jonathan (Colm Meaney), a once-famous author who is struggling with writer’s block and a failing marriage. When his wife (Kate Ashfield) leaves him for another man (John Light), Jonathan retreats to their holiday home in Portugal, seeking solitude. However, his estranged daughter Hope (Hannah Chinn) arrives, determined to reconnect with him, and understand the reasons behind her parents’ separation. Hope eventually enlists the help of her older half-sister (Brenda Meaney), and as the three spend time together, old wounds resurface, and Jonathan is forced to confront his past mistakes and personal regrets. Through their emotional journey, both father and daughter learn valuable lessons about love, forgiveness, and second chances.[3][4]
