Granada Nights

Synopsis

A story of self-discovery about Ben, a British-Pakistani tourist, who travels to Granada, Spain to save his relationship with his long term girlfriend Helen who’s studying abroad. But when Ben arrives it’s too late.
Heartbroken, Ben struggles to get over Helen and finds himself lost in a city full of backpackers, study-abroad-students, Moroccan immigrants and Flamenco Gypsies.
It’s only when he meets a group of teenage students Oscar (Swedish), Lucas (Spanish), Silvia (Portuguese), bartender Big Dave (Tunisian) and rose-seller Bilal (Pakistani) that he starts to develop a sense of belonging and purpose.
With his new foreign friends he pushes himself out of his comfort zone, immerses himself in the foreign culture and tries to find love in the international student scene. But behind every corner is a reminder of Helen and his struggle to find closure.

Director: Leo Metcalf

Year: 2024

Olly sifts through his memories searching to understand why he is the way he is. The narrative swings between two contrasting worlds: his memories of his first years, captured by his childhood drawings, and surreal underwater live-action scenes representing his dreams. We witness fragmented memories of a torn family - an abusive father, a mother whose memory seems faded, and a sister, Sally, encouraging her little brother to escape through imagination and dreams. As memory and fantasy blur, The Time Before becomes a meditation on the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and what is lost in the telling. Official Selection Aesthetica Film Festival 2024
