Synopsis

(IN)VISIBLE explores the psychological effects of domestic abuse and society’s complicity in trial and judgement. A young wife, abused by her older husband, is misread as cold and detached while he charms his friends. When he suddenly leaves during a very awkward and tense pre-dinner gathering against the backdrop of a symbolic art exhibition, she finds herself at the centre of an uncomfortable, damning trial by those who only know his version of the story. The trial unfolds around a contemporary table setting, echoing iconic scenes from art history, showing the historical repeated patterns of how women are seen, silenced, and judged. The film’s emotional power lies in what remains unsaid, and it reveals the insidious nature of domestic abuse and the ease with which a perpetrator can shape a victim's story; in this narrative, the wife endures a hostile societal trial and judgment with strength, dignity and resilience.

As the audition draws nearer, Yvonne’s hands start to discolour and blister. With her health deteriorating, Yvonne’s mother Maria, a once lauded harpist herself, offers to play the blind audition on her daughter’s behalf. Yvonne knows that even if her mother is successful, the accomplishment holds no meaning unless she secures the seat herself. When Maria insists, Yvonne begins to question whether her mother’s motives have more to do with resurrecting her faded career, than supporting her through a difficult time. On the day of the audition, Yvonne heads to Cadogan Hall, but not before she locks her overbearing mother in the house. By the time Maria discovers she has been contained, it’s too late, Yvonne has already arrived for her audition. Seated behind the portable divider, Yvonne must battle through and deliver a masterful performance before a panel of unseen judges.

Synopsis

We all know a Jeanine: 40’s, childless, partnerless, wondering not just, “How did I get here?” (that’s the easy question) but “Where next?” and, more importantly, “Who with?” Jeanine’s is a simple goal: She wants someone to say her name in the dark. So a husband, i.e. someone contractually obliged to be with her, seems like the answer. Which is how Jeanine came to be here in a wedding dress, beside an A-road on a rainy day, holding a sign that says, ‘MARRY ME’. Problem is, the various men who stop and talk to her have their own agendas (not all of them honourable). Then a car pulls in and out fall two drunk women: hen party sashes, gins in tins and a jilted bride-to-be who’s the angriest woman to ever draw breath. Rival bride Jeanine seems the ideal target for her fury. Until Jeanine realises how to unite them all in their various frustrations...
