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.

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.
