Dalia's Vision

A teacher on Atlantis teaching young children

Synopsis

Two police detectives arrive at a primary school asking to speak to the headteacher, Mrs Simpson. The first detective plays a recording of a conversation between a teacher and a pupil. Thirty years ago, an eleven-year-old pupil, Dalia, describes her vision of teaching methods used on Atlantis. Regressing back to this civilisation, she describes the wisdom and benefits of the methods used at that time, which conflict strongly with the present curriculum, already in a state of crisis. Adopting these methods, Mrs Simpson is then sacked and goes on to set up her own school, where Dalia is now teaching, thirty years later. The school has developed a good reputation and great success, but envy and intrigue lead to a fatal consequence.

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.
