Synopsis

Lost Souls, Swimming in a Fish Bowl is a silent documentary about the invisible territories of depression, isolation, memory, and the fragile act of continuing to live. There are people who move through the world every day while feeling as though they exist behind glass. They work, walk, eat, sleep, smile, and disappear into crowds—yet remain suspended within an interior world that no one else can enter. The film observes these fractured states without explanation, diagnosis, or spoken testimony. Instead, silence becomes the language of the film. Through faces, bodies, empty rooms, urban landscapes, found footage, archival fragments, photographs, gestures, objects, and moments of stillness, Lost Souls, Swimming in a Fish Bowl enters the psychological geography of people who feel trapped inside themselves. The fish bowl becomes both metaphor and physical space: transparent enough to see the world outside, yet impossible to escape.

Synopsis

Northern Irish Nollaig begins her Geo-astrophysics internship studies, in the unfamiliar city of Geneva. Its alien nature is compounded by the dominant characters of her host family David and Helen Wilcox, members of the diverse expat community, where the required external presentation of wealth and power is essential - a cloak to their hollow forms. Nollaig is without self; her observational neutrality disarms, pushing those around her, to only crave more from her. Nollaig anchors her own sense of purpose by blood ties - her Uncle Nigel. His criminal past as a jewel thief, activates Nollaig’s first direction to become a skilled diamond thief herself. In her exploration of unversed theft-ingesting and passing practices, Nollaig experiences a far more visceral and violent shift of value. Bodily destruction, radical weather events, cracks beginning to form. As Nollaig starts to become stronger, she is no longer a vessel but now an opponent - speaking to the vulnerability of the world and human presence around her. A violence of humanity in its purity. From a violent act, a benign outcome is born and Nollaig transforms everyone in her orbit.
