Sky Peals
Synopsis
Adam works nightshifts at a motorway service station and lives a small, restricted and lonely life. Upon hearing that his estranged father, Hassan, has died, Adam finds himself in search of answers. Starting to piece together a complicated image of his father, Adam learns that after leaving the family Hassan had started to believe he had been ‘sent to earth from somewhere far away’.
Initially dismissive, Adam’s mind is soon drawn to the strange episodes he has been having, in which he blacks out and can feel something trying to communicate with him. He thinks about his inability to communicate and connect with people. He thinks about how he’s never fit in. Adam begins to ask himself if his father really was a being from another world, then what does that make him?
