While filming a time capsule project on his day-to-day life, history student Dayton Givens witnesses the emergence of a new form of disturbing Orwellian surveillance. Dayton Givens is a middle-aged out of work documentary maker who decides to return to further education to study for the A level history he never got. His teacher asks him to produce a time capsule film project on every day of his life for a year. The project makes Dayton scrutinise his everyday life and the wider world with ever greater detail. He notices every element of development in a very strange year - historic events such as the uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa and the Royal Wedding but also the tightening of surveillance and monitoring in his local area in the countdown to the Olympics in East London. —Eddie Saint-Jean
