dot the i dot the i

Director: Matthew Parkhill

Year: 2003

dot the i is a love triangle, a dark comedy with a twist. The story centres on three characters: Carmen, a fiery Spanish girl about to get married; Barnaby, her posh fiancé with dark ambitions; and Kit, a struggling actor who tears up their relationship. Carmen meets Kit on her hen night - in a kiss arranged by the maitre d' at the restaurant, according to a French tradition. It's a very good kiss. Too good. It's chemical, passionate, and very dangerous. So she runs. Torn between her safe, secure fiancé and the chance at gut-wrenching passionate love, Carmen is in a state of indecision. She avoids her heart, and goes with her head - and marries Barnaby. Until she realises she's made a terrible mistake and runs from her wedding bed to Kit. As the situation intensifies, Carmen embarks on a journey in which she'll be forced to learn that things are never quite what they seem. This twisted tale toys with illusion and reality, passion and artifice.

Exploring the deepest, darkest facets of online life through the eyes of Victor - a content reviewer for the largest social media networks, and prospective paraphilic serial killer. Faced with watching the most explicit, deranged and inhumane aspects of the world around him, Victor slowly ingratiates himself into a dark-web subculture promoting and creating sexually 'perverse' content, utilising modern technologies such as AI and hidden cameras to satisfy their members. It's the age old question - is evil driven by nature or nurture?
