After the British left India, Anglo-Indians fell from grace. And Morris Jelly dropped like a stone. He hit the filthy streets of Calcutta in all their hallucinogenic splendour and life became a dream. Even in death his mercurial spirit runs rings around his friends.

Arthur, a Black filmmaker struggling with his sense of identity and external expectations, retreats to a remote farmhouse with seven days left to finish his script. His solitude is quickly interrupted by Clara, a high-profile actress on the run from her press tour, seeking an escape from a life defined by words on a page. Searching for distance from the pressures that have led them here, Arthur and Clara initially resist one another. But as their fragile egos attempt to connect, their shared vulnerability leads them on an accidental journey of self-discovery, revealing what it truly means to be seen. Set against the quiet isolation of the British countryside, Arthur & Clara is an intimate exploration of identity and genuine connection. This is not a story about two people finding each other, but about two people finding themselves. Official Selection, Austin Film Festival 2026 - WORLD PREMIERE
