Project Detail

The White Pond

The White Pond, Bucharest

Synopsis

Bucharest in 1813. The city gates were closed because of the increasing death toll of the black plague. Over thirty thousand souls were buried in a place called ‘Balta Albă’, the White Pond. The area later became a park, shrouded in mystery and superstition, avoided at nighttime even to this day.
The story of a man who has the gift of a healer, witnessed by his local Priest, which in turn becomes a struggle between the Church, the State and the manipulation of the media, on whether he should be silenced or celebrated.
A moving story of ordinary people who witness something extraordinary. It is at times, chilling, eerie, nostalgic and religiously uplifting.
A simple man graced by God, as he grieves for his departed wife, his failing health and dependence on his local Priest. The Priest has his own demons, as his history and deteriorating relationship with the Bishop, becomes apparent.

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.
