Black Daruma

Synopsis

Struggling with unemployment and lack of purpose in life, thirty-something RYAN impulsively buys a lucky Japanese ‘Daruma’ doll and takes it home to his girlfriend LOUISE, hoping his fortunes might change. Reluctant to entertain his wishful thinking, Louise persuades Ryan to throw his new friend 'Mr Lucky' away. But somehow Mr Lucky reappears and tension in the house grows as circumstances for Ryan go from bad to worse…
As Ryan begins to talk with Mr Lucky, take it to bed and even bring it along to a job interview, Louise grows concerned that something is very wrong. But the more she tries to separate him and Mr Lucky, the more horror is unleashed into their home.
Will Louise find a way to bring Ryan back from insanity or is it only a matter of time before the BLACK DARUMA gets its terrifying way with her too?

Director: Macadie Amoroso

Year: 2026

Fab plans a surprise for Cassie on their first anniversary, but Cassie's rough day, coupled with a party popper mishap, leads to a heated argument over dinner options. What starts as a takeaway tiff over Caribbean or pizza spirals into an identity battle, revealing deep-seated resentments about their racial and queer identities. With half of the film shot in one take, FISH & CHIPS is a tender, unflinching exploration of mixed-heritage identity, queer love, and the fine line between connection and conflict.
