Synopsis

16 year-old Kelly Ann gives birth to a baby boy, which she is immediately forced to give up for adoption. Six weeks later, in an attempt to get over the emotional upset, she goes on an overnight hike with her church youth group. The group is joined by 18 year-old Lee, the father of Kelly Ann’s baby. Kelly Ann isn't pleased to see him. The rest of the group become worried when Kelly Ann starts thinking she hears a baby crying on the moors. But they do indeed find a baby abandoned in a ruined castle. As they hike back to take the baby to safety, the group is stalked by a wild beast which begins to pick them off, one by one.

'It's gonna kill us all.'

'Not if we kill it first.'

The chase begins.

Denzel Baidoo as Marcus, forlorn at the dinner table. Clocks

Director: Yv Shells

Year: 2026

When Arlo arrives to find Marcus has cooked someone else’s favourite meal, a single question begins to unravel an evening that refuses to stay in the present. Through a fractured timeline set entirely within one dining room, we move between Marcus and Arlo and the relationship that came before, with Una, the woman he met at a late-night bus stop and once talked about marrying. The same table, the same chairs, the same arguments about trust, honesty and what it means to truly see someone. As the timelines bleed together, it becomes clear that Marcus has never fully left the past, and that Una’s ghost sits at every table he sets. When Arlo asks what her own favourite meal is and he cannot answer, the film’s quiet devastation lands completely. CLOCKS is a portrait of a man who loves generously but sees poorly, and the women who carry the cost. It asks what we owe the person in front of us while we are still in love with someone we lost, and whether a feeling ever truly ends.
