UKAFF: The Unexpected
The Unexpected tells two stories linked by chance and unforeseen consequences, each marked by a roll of a dice. In 'Mirror in the Water', a fading author with dementia confronts love, ambition, and regret as he nears the end of his life—culminating in an unexpected fate. In 'The Poisonous', a London executive plots quiet revenge against a deceitful antique dealer, where a subtle incident hints at eerie, ambiguous retribution. Together, the film explores fate, choice, and the unpredictability of human lives. The screening with be followed by a conversation with the cast. Annual UK Asian Film Festival, organised by Tongues on Fire, from 1 May to 10 May 2026, is in its 28th year.
