Something Pointless

An older man examines an egg shell

Synopsis

When a bullied young boy discovers an elderly man quietly covering a forgotten brick wall in painted eggshells, an unlikely friendship forms - and a “pointless” act becomes something transformative.
Welsh:
Pan mae bachgen ifanc sy'n cael ei fwlio yn dod ar draws hen ddyn tawel yn gosod plisgau wy wedi'u peintio ar hen wal frics yn eu cymdogaeth, mae'n dechrau deall sut gall hyd yn oed y gweithredoedd lleiaf a rhyfeddaf adael rhywbeth parhaol ar eu hôl.

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.
