Tangerine Juice

Synopsis

Tangerine Juice is the tale of a lonely, video shop owner (Dylan) who, whilst falling in love with a regular customer to his shop (Mary-Jane), wins a lifetime supply of tangerine juice. But when his lack of confidence gets the better of him, and he is unable to speak to her, tangerine juice seems the perfect way to drown his sorrows. Of course, as with any addiction, there are consequences. In time he turns orange. To his surprise, Mary-Jane finds this a turn on, noticing that he now bares a striking resemblance to her crush, the Hollywood legend, George Hamilton. Tangerine juice seems to be the answer to his dreams.

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.
