Stray, 2011 (16mm)
Directed by Mahalia Belo
Written by Anna Ingeborg Topsøe
Produced by Len Rowles
Coming of age drama

This is a story of the power and danger of youth, of a community trying to live without boundaries, and what happens when the two collide.

What rules do you make when you set up a commune? You find an empty house in the country and move in. You start growing your own food, expressing yourselves freely and living off the grid. You try to open your doors to anyone who needs your help. But how do you know who you've let in to your home, or why they are there? Do you know what they are thinking or the danger they may pose? When Jen, a beautiful girl turns up one night in need of a place to stay, do you ask why? Or even if that's her real name?
