EXCLUSIVE: Paris-based Charades has come aboard to rep world sales rights to Sundance-bound comedy The Incomer, starring Domhnall Gleeson and House Of The Dragon actress Gayle Rankin.

UK director Louis Paxton’s singular Scottish debut will open the Next Section category in Park City.

The film is set on a remote Scottish island, where two siblings survive by hunting seabirds, retelling the stories of their ancestors, and defending the isle from dreaded ‘incomers’. Their world is upended with the arrival of an awkward council worker who has come to uproot them from their homeland.

Cast also includes Grant O’Rourke (Outlander), Emun Elliott (Prometheus), Michelle Gomez (Doctor Who), and John Hannah (Four Weddings and a Funeral).
