Project Detail

Leo and Lou

Synopsis

Eight-year-old Leo is an orphan. Though mute, making her wants known is no issue; The real problem is that she doesn’t seem to fit in, anywhere. Equipped with a preternatural determination and her old fishing rod, Leo escapes the orphanage with the aim of entering a fishing competition in a nearby village.

For his part, Lou is a surly man who has trouble connecting with other people. When fate makes his path cross with Leo’s, she tricks him into believing she needs his help to get back to her family. And so, Lou agrees to take Leo to Cobas, the coastal town where the fishing tournament is being held.

With the authorities in full pursuit of a missing child and an unidentified adult, what at first seemed like a simple trip turns into a real adventure in which Leo & Lou become inseparable. The two misfits find acceptance and understanding with each other and their place in the world, rediscovering the true meaning of the word family.

Year: 2026

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.
