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.

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.
