Are things as they seem in life and art? THE WHEELBARROW may have something to say.

THE WHEELBARROW (Kai Ephron | Italy, Sweden, UK, USA)

When a mute recluse is revealed to not be what he appears, can he depend on his only companion, a wheelbarrow? Oscar, a mute loner living on Köpstadsö, is searching for something buried on the island. But when a visitor to the island appears to recognize him, his life spirals out of control. His only companion with whom he can confide is his wheelbarrow, and as the world closes in on him, this new formed relationship between a man and his wheelbarrow is the only thing that Oscar can depend on. This film addresses questions surrounding entities that are non-human, realities that may or may not be true, and the manufacturing of truth.

RUNNING LATE (Alistair Nicholls | UK)
