What is Bait about?

Martin Ward is a cove fisherman, without a boat. His brother Steven has repurposed their father’s vessel as a tourist tripper, driving a wedge between the brothers. With their childhood home now a getaway for London money, Martin is displaced to the estate above the picturesque harbour. As his struggle to restore the family to their traditional place creates increasing friction with tourists and locals alike, a tragedy at the heart of the family changes his world.

Bait is a 2019 British drama film written, directed, shot, edited, and scored by Mark Jenkin. It stars Edward Rowe as a struggling fisherman in a Cornish fishing village, and deals with rising tensions between the locals and tourists. Set against a backdrop of second homes, short-term lets, and gentrification, it has been interpreted as a critique of precarity.
