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 uni after taking a year out. He just wanted to get on with his finals and not slip back into old, destructive habits. Mia, a first-year, is enjoying 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.
