Synopsis

Four years after the death of her husband, Paal Singh, in a car accident, Harper and her daughter, Megan, kidnap Sebastian (the driver of the other car) who was given a lenient sentence by the court on account of his having Dissociative Identity Disorder.
They enlist the reluctant help of Taran, Harper's stepson, to try Sebastian again and - when he is found guilty - to impose their own sentence. Their plans go awry when, with the aid of his daughter, Lilith, Sebastian is freed. But he doesn't leave. Sebastian and Lilith have other plans for the family who find themselves on trial, and have to endure a night of never ending surprises.

 About an Intimate Matter About an Intimate Matter

Director: Sandeep Kumar Paul

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.
