Synopsis

Micky Mason is trying to keep things together working zero hours. His father is slowly losing himself to dementia and his son is desperately trying to stay clean. Micky is fired from his latest dead end job and there’s nothing out there but more of the same. His dad’s care home has just been bought out and Micky brings him back to his bedsit. He thinks they’ll be fine. He tries so hard to be. But he’s drowning. It’s not one big thing that sends him over, it’s the death by a thousand cuts. He takes a course of action that is completely out of character but that seems to him to be the only way to make a REAL change. For all of them. We’re left with a moral dilemma; in a world where the moral compass has shifted so far, so fast, whose version of right and wrong do we go with? It's a film about people finding their way through. It’s about Micky Mason; a man out there right now doing his best. But it’s not all anguish and despair. Sometimes it’s warm and tender. And funny.

Synopsis

Based on August Strindberg's 1888 play, "Creditors" is a modern re-telling of Strindberg's story of love, betrayal, revenge and psychological manipulation, which he considered to be his one true masterpiece. Grant Pierce (Christian McKay) arrives from London into Madrid, Spain, hoping to be given the chance to meet his favourite painter, American Freddie Lynch (Ben Cura), who is currently staying at a private hotel in an unassuming location outside the city. As Grant steps into the main building of "El Madroño", he troublingly finds Lynch a crippled man whom, he soon reveals, has been unable to actually paint for the better part of a year. As the two men get to know each other under the watchful eye of one of the owners of the hotel, Michael Redmane (Tom Bateman), they start to piece together the disturbing picture of Freddie's marriage to beautiful writer Chloe Fleury (Andrea Deck) which harbours secrets that will reveal much more than Freddie's recent creative emaciation and clearly defined obsession with her ex-husband. At times disturbingly funny and cruelly bleak, "Creditors" deals with the most private aspects of human relationships.
