Bearcave (Arkoudotripa)

Synopsis

Following Argiro, a bad-ass farmer, and her best friend, Anneta, a manicurist and local “It” girl, who grew up in the same rural village in northern Greece. As Anneta prepares to leave for the city with her lame cop boyfriend, Argiro entices her to embark on one last adventure - a hike to the legendary, mystical bear cave that has fascinated them since childhood. What begins as a nostalgic journey soon spirals into a tense exploration of their friendship, as deep-seated secrets and betrayals surface. Confronted with their true feelings, Argiro and Anneta must decide whether they end up together.

Drama Romance
Denzel Baidoo as Marcus, forlorn at the dinner table. Clocks

Director: Yv Shells

Year: 2026

When Arlo arrives to find Marcus has cooked someone else’s favourite meal, a single question begins to unravel an evening that refuses to stay in the present. Through a fractured timeline set entirely within one dining room, we move between Marcus and Arlo and the relationship that came before, with Una, the woman he met at a late-night bus stop and once talked about marrying. The same table, the same chairs, the same arguments about trust, honesty and what it means to truly see someone. As the timelines bleed together, it becomes clear that Marcus has never fully left the past, and that Una’s ghost sits at every table he sets. When Arlo asks what her own favourite meal is and he cannot answer, the film’s quiet devastation lands completely. CLOCKS is a portrait of a man who loves generously but sees poorly, and the women who carry the cost. It asks what we owe the person in front of us while we are still in love with someone we lost, and whether a feeling ever truly ends.
