‘"TETHERED’ is a heart-rending ode to mythology and the very art of storytelling, as well as an homage to 1980s fantasy cinema - but with a strong female focus.

Within ‘TETHERED’, four strands of storytelling intersect: live-action drama sequences shot on location in Ireland (starring Úna Ní Bhriain and Maura Logue), a haunting song at the heart of the film (written by David Nicholas and Beth Rowley), a vivid animated segment (created by Michael Lomon of Cartoon Saloon), and a climactic Dream Ballet sequence (starring the dancer Chrissy Brooke and choreographed by James Berkery).

The movie is about the somewhat peculiar but spontaneous Maria (28) who wins 250,000 SEK on a scratch-off lottery ticket on TV. She dreams of a typical "Svensson" life, which refers to a common, ordinary Swedish family, but she's not quite sure how to get there. So, when the TV host asks her what she will do with the money, she says, "Anyone who wants to have coffee with me will receive 1000 SEK." Her calendar quickly fills up with people who want to have coffee with her, and one thing leads to another, and somewhere over there, perhaps that ordinary life she desires exists, or maybe not.
