Synopsis

Raymond’s life is on pause - stuck in a job he hates and living with a bunch of middle class students he has nothing in common with. He’s a man adrift, until a chance encounter on a night out reunites him with his charismatic but volatile former foster brother Jerdy.
Charming his housemates, Jerdy worms his way back into Raymond’s life, feeding his dissatisfaction with his current circumstances and pulling him back to a world he was trying to escape. Jerdy brings fun, excitement and much missed brotherly love, but when he allows himself to be dragged into thuggery and criminality Raymond has to grapple with breaking the bonds of loyalty from his past. But Jerdy isn’t going to make it easy for him. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Belfast, this comedy drama with a uniquely Northern Irish perspective delivers exceptional performances, unstoppable swagger and a laugh-out-loud exploration of the relationships and experiences that make us who we are.

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.
