Ikaria

Written and directed by Philippa Lawford

‘Maybe we shouldn't always stay here. Maybe we should stay at yours, or you should stay at yours and I should stay here. Sometimes.’

Simon has returned to university after taking a year out. He wants to get on with his finals and not slip back into old, destructive habits. Mia, a first-year, is embracing the explosive freedom of life away from home. 

Simon doesn’t want to leave his room. But then he meets Mia. 

Ikaria is a love story about finding salvation in someone else.
