In a remote hilltop house, a lonely boy witnesses a deeply traumatic event. Tries to escape, but to no avail. Left alone with his increasingly deranged parent, he dreams of safety, of friends in the city below, of escape. When a stranger knocks on the door, the boy senses that his days of isolation are coming to an end. But who gave this man the authority to keep records? What is the true purpose of his questions? He is a friend? Enemy? Or something completely different? Filled with beauty, fear and the unknown, The Clerk is a poignant and engrossing exploration of memory and identity.
