Ribblehead

Feature Narrative
Director: Tom Young
Country of Origin: United Kingdom

Mark Smithson authored the breakout fiction hit of 2008, “Tales from the M62 Corridor,” at once creating a new genre of fiction, winning nationwide plaudits, and – unbeknownst to him at the time – creating a dense psychological trap for his future self. The horror novelist draws inspiration from a strange locale in Yorkshire, England for his next book, but as he learns more about the site’s dark history, he begins to have nightmarish experiences and confuse reality from fantasy.

The year is 1966. Germany is divided. Not far from East Berlin, 10-year-old Thomas grows up with his grandmother. It soon becomes clear that there is nothing normal about his family. As a small boy, he has to witness his mother being committed to a psychiatric institution for unknown reasons. This event haunts the boy up to his present. Plagued by a strong longing for his father, who emigrated to West Germany even before the construction of the German Wall, he plans his escape, which radically changes not only his life but also that of the border guard Johannes Bauer. Through his inner conflict between morality and conviction, the framework of his world view begins to collapse. Tossed back and forth between the extremes, the viewer becomes witness to a true story that makes one think.
