Tommy is the school bully, convinced that strength and fear are the only ways to earn respect. After yet another act of aggression, the principal forces him to attend a theater workshop. There, he meets classmates he once ignored and, through acting exercises, is pushed to step into their shoes. Facing those he hurt and confronting his own vulnerabilities gradually changes how he sees himself and others. Through struggle and discovery, Tommy takes his first uncertain steps toward empathy.

Adam, a Palestinian-British single father, is raising his daughter in a quiet English neighbourhood. Their days are ordinary. Their nights are not.
Together, they play Castle in the Dark, a game where she learns to move through danger, hide in silence, and survive a world filled with unseen threats.
When unrest spreads across the country, the line between game and reality begins to collapse. The neighbourhood shifts. Eyes linger. Three men move closer.
What begins as unease becomes something more deliberate.
Told through the quiet rituals of a father and daughter, Castle in the Dark reframes survival as something taught, inherited, and imagined. An allegory rooted in real-world violence, it examines what it means to prepare a child for a world that may not protect them.
When the rules change, what do you pass on?
