It is the morning of Tunde’s graduation party and things have already begun to unravel. Tunde has alienated his sister, his older brother plagues him with criticism, their mother has started drinking again, and, unknown to all, Tunde has orchestrated the return of his long estranged father.
As the day wears on old wounds are re-opened and bad habits are revived. Slowly deception and half-truths are peeled away as secrets are uncovered. August the First will become the most unforgettable day the family has ever experienced.
The short film Tell us the truth Josephine will follow the main feature, and is an experimental film about a Maltese woman searching for home on stilts.
