Synopsis

Three women: Ona, a pop star, Jude, a celebrated stripper and Hon, a judo player pursue, to the exclusion of everything else, their respective goals and ambitions.

Ona starts judo training as a new fad in order to maintain the interest of her fans in her. Hon in addition to her obsessive judo training, also works as a bouncer in the lap dance club where Jude appears. Jude lands an offer she cannot refuse.

A company producing the most expensive diamonds in the world is experiencing a decline in sales and is looking for a strategy to turn it around. It has hired one of the most experienced PR experts in the field.
Suddenly opportunities present themselves, which could change the lives of the three women beyond all recognition putting their true motivations and passions to the test.

A thought provoking film that challenges everybody’s perception of success.

Director: Jason Bradbury

Year:

Long-distance lorry driver Kieran has built his life around control. He keeps emotional risk at arm's length, seeking anonymous hook ups in laybys where connection is never part of the deal. Until Aidan emerges from the treeline, volatile and unnervingly intense. Kieran, convinced he's in control, ignores every warning sign until the police arrive and the carefully constructed boundaries of his life begin to collapse. LAYBY is a queer psychosexual thriller about collision between control and connection. Set over one night in a remote Scottish layby, it is a story about the need for intimacy and how far we'll go into the dark to find it.
