The Trouble with Men and Women

Synopsis

A bittersweet drama depicting the sentimental education of a young man who encounters all manner of women. Betrayal, lust and loneliness are encountered on his search for love, meaning, and the understanding of the opposite sex.

Matt's entire world turns upside down when his girlfriend, Deborah, leaves him for a new life in America. The repercussions are extensive, affecting all around Matt - particularly his closest friends, Vinnie and Susie, who try in vain to cheer him up. While Matt begins the long road to recovery, meeting several women in search of new romantic vistas, Vinnie and Susie's relationship comes under increasing strain. Matt soon realises that Susie is in love with him - and, worse still, that he is in love with her.

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.
