Synopsis

As the world sleeps, a man dreams and his dream-spirit explores the winding streets of a slumbering watery town. He travels as a ball of light and sees hints and suggestions of a woman who evades him. She appears variously as a shadow, a footprint or the reflection of a face just turning away. Whether she is living or dead is unclear. As night slowly recedes and nature covers the traces of past loves, they come together in a final meeting and fade away forever.

Synopsis

Set in modern-day Glasgow, Absolutely Wasted is a dark, character-based comedy that follows Davy, an alcoholic, whom we first encounter as he attempts to clean himself up at the end of a ten-day binge. Determined to prevent himself from continuing on his marathon booze session, he employs desperate measures which lead him into a harrowing predicament. While tracing the highs and lows of Davy's drunken experiences, the film also introduces us to his manic group of acquaintances, each of whom has been affected by alcohol abuse in different ways. Walter, the heavy-drinking, Viagra-popping pensioner is trying to recapture his youth, while trying to rebuild his relationships with his sons. Louise has just given Tam, her one-night stand, the cold shoulder. She does not know why, as she really likes him. Her growing anger at her own impetuosity, fuelled by copious amounts of vodka and wine, lead her into a heap of trouble. Tam usually restricts any feelings he has for a woman to his penis, but there's something about Louise that has touched his heart. Angus should be running a sophisticated wine bar in the gay district of London's West End. He's not though. Somehow he has found himself in the less than revered position of landlord of the dilapidated Admiral pub in one of Glasgow's less than salubrious areas. Eddie has two big problems. His first is that he is a complete moron and his second is that he is the only one on the planet who does not realise this. What penniless Christie sees he must have, even if it belongs to someone else.

When Candy Connor and Randy Bush, celebrated Californian self-help gurus, come to London to launch their bestselling book ‘Are You Ready For Love? How To Find Love in Three Days’, they choose three single Brits for a publicity stunt to prove that their advice works. Luke, Barry and Melanie are the three unlucky-in-love hopefuls who pay good money to take part in Candy and Randy’s promotional promise. Luke, a self-confessed ‘Monster Lover’, is a 38-year-old ageing pop star who relies on his status as a one-hit wonder to attract one-night stands. He is in desperate need of help to find a real relationship. Barry, a 35-year-old Jewish dentist, is a perfectionist with high expectations for his perfect partner. He turns to Candy and Randy in a last attempt to avoid his domineering mother’s match-making scheme. Melanie, a 32-year-old photographer, is a hopeless romantic looking for ‘The One’. Always seeming to find the wrong one, she believes that Candy and Randy will help her to find true love. These three single Brits have just 72 hours to find love by following the advice given to them by the Californian gurus and their new book. Throughout this three-day period, their every move is filmed by roving cameras who are documenting their success for a promotional television programme to be shown at a press conference after the three days are up.
