Bader Short Film Programme I
Young adults have completed the circle of youth and are now taking their own steps on the path of life. Their opinions resonate more strongly and this appealing programme exposes them to cinema as a contemporary art form.
A man discovers that his mind has been hacked and his memories replaced in this complex meditation on the nature of uncertainty, identity and truth.
When a man wakes up in an interrogation room, he immediately asks after his wife and daughter, only to discover that his mind has been hacked and his memories replaced – all part of a plot to steal an incredible invention: the world’s most precise quantum logic clock. Featuring a brooding performance by 'Game of Thrones' star Simon Armstrong, this sci-fi thriller is a complex consideration of the nature of uncertainty, identity and truth.
