Viko Nikci : 2018
Racing from young love to tortured loss and back again, a provocative mystery thriller that follows Aidie, a fighter inside and out, as she searches for her son while in the grip of the Church. Aidie wakes up underwater in her bath, unaware of why she is there or what might have happened to her. She's wearing an old-fashioned gingham dress. She doesn't know who or where she is until the repeated incidents she experiences begin to form a vague time-line. It sees her visiting her artist mother; being in a classroom with young giggling children; dancing with her handsome lover Aidan; tussling with a nun; part of a group of unmarried mothers in a home; and finally, being in various stages of pregnancy and childbirth and trying to find her child. The subjective perspective shifts to reveal that we have been given a deeper understanding of an issue that affects countless millions. With a unique point of view on a familiar trauma, the film cuts deep into the character's experience – an exploration of love regained and loss relived. Viko Nikci's feature was winner of the award for Best Irish First Feature when it premiered at Galway Film Fleadh 2018.
