The screening is followed by a live Q&A with Rick Bush (director), Nina Fidderman (co-star) and Tilly Wadsworth (screenwriter).

Lana (Nina Fidderman) wanders into a quiet bookshop one rainy afternoon and unexpectedly bumps into an old friend, Tom (David Boan). What begins as a brief, awkward reunion takes an unexpected turn when the pair find themselves  locked in overnight. As the hours unfold, old memories surface, truths are shared, and long-suppressed feelings stir.

Trapped between the bookshelves, Lana is forced to confront the dissatisfaction with her life — lost ambitions, failed relationships, and the creeping sense that she’s  drifted off course. Yet, through honest conversation and moments of gentle humour, there’s a glimmer of hope that things might still change.

Filmed in the cathedral city of Ely, Cambridgeshire, with its timeless streets and golden light, LOST FOR WORDS is a tender, quietly funny exploration of connection, nostalgia, and second chances. Directed by filmmaker Rick Bush and written by Tilly Wadsworth, this heartfelt British feature wraps around you like a warm blanket on a cold evening — reminding us that sometimes, getting stuck is exactly what we need to find our way again.
