Synopsis

This is a raw drama where ego and vanity clash with pure evil. We watch the impact of stress and pressure on Britain's number one detective as he attempts to solve the unsolvable.

Infuriated by the publicity thrust upon Detective Chief Inspector Jeff Heat, a mysterious sociopath, claiming to have murdered hundreds of worthless individuals, reveals himself by e-mail and suggests that the new 'Sherlock Holmes' would be unable to capture him. The sociopath baits Jeff's team of detectives with cryptic clues before commiting a series of callous murders, much to Jeff's frustration. Under pressure from his bosses and depressed by his lack of success in piecing together the clues left behind by the murderer, Jeff makes one last gamble by placing himself in the trap, which backfires with disastrous consequences.

This is an enthralling drama which demonstrates that evil very often triumphs over good.

Synopsis

It's been 20 years since Krister set foot in Poland, and he's in for a number of big surprises. A modern Oedipal myth, a tale of voyeuristic obsession, Inheritance chronicles the transformation of a man in Warsaw as the city itself, emerging from its communist past, goes through its own changes.

Krister, a middle-aged Swede of Polish origin, has been retreating from the rigours of the modern world. His life, on a small island near Stockholm, has turned into an uneventful slow death. His memories of Poland, a country he visited during his teenage years, are just as sad. The only reason he goes back is because he inherits a cottage in the Polish countryside.

When he arrives in Warsaw, Krister is surprised by the city's modern infrastructure and by its outward signs of wealth. The butcher's shop he used to go to is now a sex shop, and his teenage friend Grzegorz is now a very respectable eye surgeon - and gay Krister is in for an even bigger shock as he meets 20-something Ewa. Krister thinks he is falling in love with her, which gives him a new zest for life. His discovery that she is a porn actress only adds to his obsession - until he learns that their meeting is no accident: she is his daughter.

Synopsis

From the director of Little Black Book comes a fresh spin on the high school comedy in the vein of American Pie and Freaky Friday. For 16 years, Woody, a poor but popular school jock and Nell, a prim, over-privileged school academic, have been next-door neighbours and arch enemies. However after some movie high-jinks they wake up one day to find themselves in a very strange place: each other's bodies!
Initially embarking on a hilarious revenge spree as they gleefully embarrass and mess up each other's high-school reputations, they are horrified to realise the implications of their predicament. Nell's interview with Yale is just around the corner and Woody's only shot at a football scholarship is days away. Putting their differences aside they must work together, and in the process come to realise a few home truths about each other; and maybe it's just possible that these two polar opposites might even fall in love.
