The Journey is the Destination

After participating in the brutal killing of rioting blacks while in the line of duty, South African homicide/robbery captain, Andre Stander (Tom Jane) decided to defy the very system he was a part of and set off on an audacious crime spree: robbing banks during his lunch hour then returning to the scene of the crime to lead the investigation. Finally caught by the same police force he worked with, Stander was jailed and, subsequently, befriended Allan Heyl (David Patrick O'Hara) and Lee McCall (Dexter Fletcher). Following a daring jailbreak, the 'Stander Gang' committed a large number of bank heists which grew increasingly bolder over time. In the eyes of the public, their blatant disregard for authority made them South Africa's most popular anti-heroes. To the police, however, Stander and his gang were the most wanted men in the country.

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.
