Synopsis

The film follows single 30-year-old Finch, whose life seems fairly sorted until he injures himself whilst on a surfing trip in Wales. On his journey home he experiences recurring dreams where a young woman appears to him. When he actually meets her at a roadside café, and crosses paths with a hitman called Vincent who talks of his search for treasure, Finch starts to question his sanity.

As dreams merge with reality, Finch gets closer to home and further away from life as he knew it.

A drawing of a girl in a forest by a pond, above it you can see the title 'A Time Before' A Time Before

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
