Synopsis

As two friends sit down to enjoy a hearty meal in a kebab shop, one of them tells the other a shocking story about a stabbing that occurred just round the corner. As the tale gets more intense, eventually ending up in the very same restaurant that they are sitting in together, the shocking conclusion leaves one of the friends feeling more than a little queasy. Blending dark humour with building tension, this short film explores the ease at which urban legends can spread before leaving the audience questioning what really happened.

What our educators say

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
