Stood up by their dates in the same London restaurant, single mother Lena and quiet loner Daniel strike up a conversation. During the course of the evening, Lena discovers Daniel has kept the keys to all the places he’s ever lived. Keen to continue their dalliance, Lena suggests a wild weekend of sneaking into each of Daniel’s previous residences while getting to know each other more intimately. But as Lena unlocks her new lover’s past, what started out as a thrilling sexual adventure soon becomes something far more dangerous.
An impressive debut feature from director Joy Wilkinson, 7 KEYS is a delightfully unpredictable cat-and-mouse suspense story that nods to ’90s erotic thrillers while remaining firmly immersed in its own uniquely sexy style. And with the intense sexual chemistry between Emma McDonald’s seductive Lena and Billy Postlethwaite’s unassuming Daniel radiating from the screen, 7 KEYS is the festival film most likely to have you feeling steamy in your cinema seat.
