Synopsis

Three friends stop at Shiv Shakti Lodge after their jeep breaks down. This pleasant and quiet mountain abode filled with travellers, turns into a trap when they are told by the caretaker that this is not an ordinary place and they are all dead. Shiv Shakti Lodge is the last resort to make peace before they go to the promised land called Bayoul. If not, they will be stuck here forever. They face a trial by fire in which their relationships and sins are brought into the open and they have to face their guilt and burn their attachments. From denial to grief and backlash to murder, the three friends try to fight the inevitable. Can they make peace with their past, reclaim lost love, or bid a sad adieu to unfulfilled dreams? An urgent and timeless story of the celebration of life through death.

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.
