The trial begins for Ludovic Chevalier, accused of the brutal murder of three underage girls.

This darkly grotesque drama sets off down more than one path.

The trauma also paralyses a film

crew in the middle of production.

The question of whether to keep on pursuing their dream project becomes increasingly obtrusive.

‘The Kings of Kings’

And what of destiny, and its near-fatal impediments?

Its also a film about hope coming along when we least expect it.

However, the experience comes with an unexpected side effect: she starts to lose all her social inhibitions.

Ernst De Geers debut is a fresh, modern satire which profits from situational humour and piercingly precise dialogue.

At the same time, the irony of whats going on is plain to see.

One day, the cross is taken down for repair and the statue of the saint suddenly vanishes.

When a mysterious stranger subsequently appears among them, the residents put two and two together… Narges has a higher social status and comes from a good family.

For the time being, they are keeping their relationship a secret.

In order for them to marry, Amir has to earn enough money for a dowry.

Yet, dont be fooled, the films protagonist is actually his wife Helena (Eliska Krenkova).

Helenas innate empathy, intensified by her pregnancy, isnt satisfied by the conspicuously prompt solution to the mystery.

Viata de apoi / Arsenie.

They love each other, take care of each other, and have a great rapport.

Until an unplanned pregnancy throws them off course.

They didnt want a child and starting a

family would jeopardise their career prospects.

Yet whos to have the last word if they cant agree on a solution to the situation?

A strange mood pervades a debilitated world: anything could happen, virtually anywhere, without warning.

Even in a sleepy town, where an 18-year-old lad gets stranded on his way to the family cottage.

The fact is that no-one knows at what temperature the human character starts to melt…

In extreme situations, who runs wild and who remains docile?

And can a solar eruption engender harmony as well?

She wants to tell her that she is pregnant.

Alba, however, suffers trauma from the war she experienced firsthand and has stopped talking.

Their relationship is constantly changing; it is one continuous uncertainty marked by shared searching and reassuring.

Somewhere next to their

world is another where time is linear.

Most of his time is spent making videos as he applies for roles hell never get.

They dont get the roles, so they decide to make their own film instead.

If you ignore it, you miss the light.
