Edinburgh. Best friends Jed, Anna and Eve are closer than family and can't image a world in which the others aren't there to share the heartache and happiness of their lives. Now, Jed is in trouble. Investors in his nightclub want their money back and he can't pay up. At the same time, his girlfriend Anna is tiring of a relationship that seems to be going nowhere. She meets pornographer Perrot whose jet set lifestyle seems to offer her a way out. Charmed by his promises, she auditions for his next erotic film. Eve has problems of her own. Crippled by the past, she drives through long, dark nights listening to tapes of conversations with her analyst, desperately seeking the strength to break free from the grip of the arms dealing family who oppose her hedonistic lifestyle. When her brother arrives for a final showdown, she decides to take direct action against their impossible demands. Jed seeks his escape in a short lived relationship with the beautiful but unbalanced Emily who sees him as a kindred spirit in a hostile world. Trying to make sense of the chaos of their lives, the ties of friendship unravel as they all realise that things must change. Only by confronting the legacy of the past are they free to embrace the possibilities that come when night ends and daybreak dawns.

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.
