A little boy is sent by his parents to live with a foster mother in a village
       somewhere in Eastern Europe in an attempt to save him from the mass
extermination of the Jews. The foster mother unexpectedly dies, however, and
the little boy is forced to make his way all alone in an unfriendly world where
   only local rules, prejudice and superstition prevail. His attempts to survive
    after the war are replaced by a different kind of struggle. A struggle with
                                  himself, a struggle for his soul, for his future...

(Winner of 3 Academy Awards & Palme d’Or for The Piano, Nominated
Academy Award & Palme d’Or for Bright Star, Winner Camera d’Or for
Love Serenade)

A bittersweet comedy. What might have been a disaster for the Finlay
family leads to letting go and finding grace in the glorious chaos of
life, as Henry and Anna realise their very talented and very ill teenage
daughter Milla has just fallen madly in love with a small time drug
dealer, Moses. This romance is Milla’s protective parents’ worst
nightmare - but Milla doesn’t want to play it safe anymore. As the
lives of the family intertwine with those around them: a sensitive
music teacher, a budding child violinist, Moses’ little brother and a
disarmingly honest and very pregnant next door neighbour, Milla
teaches those in her orbit how to live like they have nothing to lose.

DEATH OF A LADIES’ MAN
Matthew Bissonnette
from the producers of BROOKLYN, ONCE and CHICAGO
Samuel O’Shea, a university professor of poetry, exuberant womanizer and enthusiastic
drinker has seen better days. His second marriage is ending, and his wife and children are
at their wits’ end with him. More disturbingly, he has begun seeing things: Frankenstein
sidles up to the bar and strangers sing and dance to Leonard Cohen tunes. His much-
missed father, who died when Samuel was just a boy, pops up for chats.

At first Samuel thinks it could be the drink, or perhaps he’s just crazy or over-imaginative,
but then learns he has a brain tumour. Reflecting on the life he has lived, Samuel retreats
to his family shack in remote Ireland, where he begins work on that great novel he always
meant to write, and generally take stock. Surprisingly, or not, he meets and falls in love
with a local woman, who is full of unexpected ideas. All this leads Samuel to an utterly
unforeseeable happy ending.
