Polychrome People


Eight stories, one massive, multi-coloured cloud 



To each their own view of the mysterious cloud's innumerable, shifting shades. For some it's a brief distraction — snap, swipe, share — for others an excuse to party, a nuisance, an evil portent or an act of international terrorism. For an exclusive few the fog is an opportunity, a moment of enchantment and a chance to change.



Middle-aged misanthrope Spike is spying on his neighbours, cursing the passing of time, the indie kids and his useless crippled legs. 

Alina is a Polish emigrant with an unshakable belief in art, romance and the meaning of names. 

The Things are morbidly obese, housebound chain smokers who owe it all to Granny's gargantuan pile. 

TV journalist Sara's personal crisis crashes head on into Haruka, the most glamorous weather girl in Japan. 

Octogenarian war-veteran Walter is crippled by the fear of a secret past that's fast catching up. 

Mikey is an ex-pro footballer, cursing the cloud, the career and the goth girl that got away.

Travellers Sean and Ruth are stuck, grounded by a mess of blue felt and a momentous decision. 

Leila is searching for a little shit of a dog called Arthur and the last few scraps of her evanescing self.
