Raghdan Aziz a trouvé comme solution parfaite pour échapper à son père Amir, musulman et autoritaire, en quittant Bradford pour l’ouest de l’Irlande. À Sligo, il retrouve son oncle et sa tante qui l’adorent, ses compagnons de surf Derek et Neville et sa petite amie Maeve Logan, qui est très convoitée à Sligo. Tout se passe donc à merveille pour Raghdan, jusqu’à ce que son père Amir débarque avec comme cadeau d’anniversaire une usine de viande halal. C’est là que les choses commencent à se gâter pour le jeune homme insouciant.

5 short films, from 5 directors and 4 different countries on the theme of the Alter-Ego. The "Alter Ego Film Project" is inspired by the spirit of Maya Deren and her way of making films. Between double personality, secret identity, doppelgänger and impossible love we have discovered several unconventional stories halfway between narrative and experimental.

A dark adult fairy tale. A hallucinatory trip through the night. Exploring otherworldly scenes of kink, gender-swapping, loss, mental illness and loneliness.

Based on what happened to 15-year-old Ann Lovett in 1984. When she wakes up that morning, Ann feels that it is going to happen that day. She puts on her school uniform, but instead of going to school she is terrified of what is to come and quietly wanders the streets, hoping for human kindness and help, hoping for a miracle, while afraid to approach anyone. As a Catholic school student, she can in the end only count on the blessing of Virgin Mary and thus she gives birth to a baby boy beneath the statue of Our Lady in a grotto near the house of the congregation’s priest.
