Having retired to bed early to prepare for a dawn ascent, Kelly is woken by the screams of her co-climber Sophie, who had stayed up to enjoy a smoke with a group of men they had met earlier. Desperate to get to her friend, Kelly runs deep into the forest using the night vision from her camera to guide the way. She arrives just in time to see Sophie’s lifeless body being thrown from a ledge, a horror she captures on camera. As she turns to leave, the men hear Kelly below and give chase. Running through their camp, she desperately grabs whatever climbing gear she can and begins free-climbing the foot of the mountain in order to escape the pack. As day turn to freezing night, she finds herself both mentally and physically exhausted. But there is nothing she can do. If she’s to escape this deadly game of cat & mouse she must dig deep, do all she can to survive, and climb...

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.
