Happy Now?

Synopsis

An off-beat thriller set in a remote Welsh village. Teenagers Glen and Joe let Tin Man, the local tramp, take the rap after they accidentally kill Joe's girlfriend, Jenny.

14 years later, Tin Man is released from prison and a girl, Nicky, turns up. Nicky is a dead ringer for Jenny, and when Joe sees her, the guilt that has haunted him for so long turns into full-blown paranoia. Glen has to do everything he can to keep him quiet. But the enigmatic Sergeant Bracchi is sure that the real story was never told all those years ago, and sets out to uncover it.

Two girls in maroon school uniform sit against mustard yellow lockers doing homework and sharing an orange. Lady Macbeth Was Never a Girl

Director: Francesca McBride

Year: 2026

In the grey rhythms of a 1990s British secondary school, a student begins to sense a discomfort that has no name, just a feeling that the role they’re playing doesn’t quite fit. Through a missing pair of joggers, an unexpected line from Macbeth, and the quiet rituals of uniforms, registers, and school corridors, this film traces the first flickers of identity forming - not through revelation, but recognition.
