Battery

Synopsis

There is an overweight man with deep-seated psychological issues and two chicken like creatures. They are having a surreal dinner party contained within a dingy room with a high ceiling. The wallpaper is dirty and there happens to be some kind of insect infestation. The food they eat is also dirty. They reside on the edge of a city and a large factory dominates the landscape. The weather isn't too good either.

Director: Kevin Walls

When meticulous, career-obsessed Cameron (James Rottger) discovers his aimless flatmate Eilidh (Elle Watson) is pregnant after their drunken one-night stand, both assume there is an obvious way out. But when Eilidh finds she cannot go through with the termination, the pair are forced into an awkward, absurd and increasingly intimate attempt at preparing for parenthood. As they stumble into something that looks suspiciously like a relationship, they begin to question the lives they thought they wanted and what they really mean to each other.
