About this show

Dylan (MacKay) has reached the end of his tether with his dead-end job and lonely, unfulfilling existence. Over the course of a week he blows his life up, seeking meaning in the wake of extreme chaos as he wrestles with trying to feel alive and finding a reason to continue. Paul Wright’s immersive, expressionistic portrait of a young man’s existential angst and directionless fury is vividly composed and frenetically paced. Filmed in Scotland, crackling with anarchic energy and featuring a compelling performance from MacKay, this is a bold, visionary film that demands to be seen on the big screen.
