The Clan

Synopsis

The Clan gives a unique insight into a dark world of crime, corruption and violence lying deep within the Scottish Highlands. The story unveils the existence of two feuding crime families that have evolved from ancient Scottish Clans, The McKinleys and the McNabs.

The film focuses on the relationship that has blossomed between the two youngest members of each Clan, Cal McKinley and Nicole McNab, struggling to cope with the daily brutal savagery they are being forced to endure. When they decide to run off together, they realise that escaping from the claws of their Clans would never be easy.

A smartly dressed woman and man sit side by side in the waiting  room, sharing a quiet smile. Marriage Test

Director: Sara Nourizadeh

Year: 2026

Set in a mosque waiting room in 1980s South Wales, and inspired by the true story of writer-director Sara Nourizadeh's parents, a young couple whose relationship crossed boundaries of culture, faith and expectation. At a time when Iranian politics dominated UK headlines and shaped public attitudes, a Welsh woman and her Iranian fiancé prepare for an Islamic conversion ceremony – a requirement they must fulfil if they are to marry. What follows is a quietly charged and emotionally intimate portrait of two people trying to navigate a moment that is both deeply personal and subtly political. As they wait for the ceremony to begin, small details – a trembling hand, a whispered joke, a fleeting moment of doubt – reveal the emotional stakes beneath the surface. Their conversation dances between humour and tension, affection and uncertainty, reflecting the push and pull of family pressures, cultural misunderstandings, and their own hopes for the future. Authentic VHS archive footage of the real couple is interwoven within this scripted drama, grounding the film in lived experience and offering an unexpectedly tender glimpse into the decades that followed.
