Three Dots and a Dash

Synopsis

Crime comedy based on the lives of immigrants in London. Four immigrants who lose their regular jobs during the great recession in London are lured in to crime. No jobs offered, they join a gang of criminals and start to con people. Things get out of hand when they are not able to finish a swindling task and they decide to quit the world of crime, but not before they pay off the gangs what they owed. They resort to more crime to pay off their debt and get dangerously involved with two international gangs operating in London. With the gangs on one hand and the Scotland Yard on the other, the gang of four team up to a solid plan that can settle all things. Things turnaround when this petty gang turn into vigilantes and help the police nail the dangerous gangs in the end bringing about the intrinsic theme of the movie that Crime never pays.

Drama Romance
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.
