Sky Peals 12A

"★★★★★ – an atmosphere that you won’t find anywhere else" – Eye for Film

"★★★★ – unsettling and effective" – Guardian

Moin Hussain’s highly anticipated feature debut blends realist drama with a playful suggestion of otherworldly science-fiction.

Adam works nightshifts at a motorway service station and lives a life of isolation feeling he doesn’t belong. Upon hearing that his estranged father, Hassan, has died, he finds himself in search of answers. Piecing together a complicated image of a man he never knew, Adam starts to become convinced he descended from an alien race. And his mind is drawn to the strange episodes he has been having, in which he blacks out, beautiful lights appear, and voices beckon him closer.

Thinking about his inability to communicate and connect with people, Adam begins to wonder if his father might actually have been a being from another place. And if he was, what does that make Adam?

Moin Hussain’s intriguing debut feature (that premiered in BFI London Film Festival) is unsettling and effective, and sprinkled with deadpan humour.
