Synopsis
Kill follows Shaun, a rough sleeper drifting through London’s Docklands Light Railway, spending his days riding the train in endless loops. Caught between reality and imagination, his search for meaning unfolds through fantasy, observation, and an inner world shaped by ideas of heroism and self mythologising. As the train circles the city, Shaun’s presence becomes quietly unsettling, inviting the audience to question who he is and what purpose he serves within a society that largely overlooks him. Is Shaun a threat, a protector, or simply a man seeking warmth, shelter, and distraction as time slips by. These questions linger when a couple board the train and sit behind him, their tense exchange breaking the rhythm of the journey. As the man begins to berate the woman, Shaun’s attention sharpens, forcing him to confront the limits of his invisibility and the power it may carry. Set within the confined, repetitive motion of the railway, Kill explores dignity, moral responsibility, and the human need for purpose, asking where meaning is found when action feels both possible and perilous.
