Synopsis:
Three things are vital in the autistic world of 18year old Billy Lynes
- the click track, Train-Tain and Gods Eye. This short film explores
premonition, bereavement and reconciliation through Billys eyes
as one by one these pillars are removed.
Billy Lynes has been sent home prematurely from what should have been
the school holiday of a life-time - a train journey through Norway. Nobody
could work out why Billy was on his hands and knees, in the aisle of the
crowded train, his ear pressed to the floor. At first it seemed funny
but when they tried to remove him he became violent.
Mr Kerr, his personal tutor brings him home unaware that the school have
not been able to contact Billys parents. Nor does he guess the significance
of the scaffolded church opposite Billys tower block. Nor that the
gathering into which he brings Billy is not a welcome home but a memorial
gathering for Train Train, Billys grandfather.
As Billys world crashes, he is propelled into a nightmare journey
to make sense of the fragments. Kerr watches in horror as the tragedy
unfolds. But we are in for a surprise as the chaotic kaleidoscope of Billys
perspective clicks into startling revelation.
