Pulling Teeth
Synopsis
Co-created with non-actors and their lived experiences, the film follows Damian, a resourceful hustler, who grinds out a hand-to-mouth existence selling stolen e-bike batteries, and breaking into construction sites stealing metal to sell for scrap. This daily struggle has fractured his relationships, especially with an ex-partner and young daughter who is growing ever more distant. When a tenuous involvement with an older woman ends, Damian is forced to confront his growing isolation on the streets of a city he no longer recognises.
