Synopsis

When a woman disappears in an underpass, her grieving friend investigates. But after she too vanishes, the mystery erupts across social media. As more women disappear from the same location, the internet fractures into competing theories: a hidden serial killer, institutional failure, or something supernatural. Told through CCTV, livestreams, mobile phones and social media, SAINT MARIA'S WAY begins as a true crime investigation before mutating into a supernatural found-footage horror. The film explores our cultural obsession with public investigation, surveillance and the spectacle surrounding violence against women, asking whether constant documentation ultimately reveals the truth - or feeds the monster.

Drama Romance
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.
