Synopsis

Paris, 2054. Ilona Tasuiev, a young, brilliant researcher is violently kidnapped. Initial attempts to find her are in vain. Avalon, a giant multinational corporation and her employer, wants her found at any cost and has requested that Officer Bartholomew Karas (Daniel Craig), a hostage specialist and the most controversial cop in the force, be in charge of the case.

Karas finds a connection between Ilona and scientist Dr Jonas Muller (Ian Holm), and he meets Ilona’s beautiful sister Bislane (Catherine McCormack). He builds an intriguing picture of the missing girl and he retraces her movements through the jungles that are the new Parisian districts: he is spied on, threatened, witnesses are assassinated and someone tries to kill him.

The cop no longer knows if his quarry is angel or monster. To find Ilona becomes a matter of life or death for Karas and for the whole of civilization.

Synopsis

This Inuit folktale tells of an unfortunate woman, who was thrown off a cliff into the icy ocean by her father. The motive for this deed remains untold.

As many years go by, she becomes a skeleton, haunting that part of the sea. A young brave fisherman ventures into the area despite the local superstition and fear, and unwittingly hooks the skeleton. Linked by the entangled fishing-line, the fisherman races back to shore in panic. The skeleton follows him home, and the young fisherman's compassion overcomes fear. He provides warmth and shelter, and as he sleeps she plays on a magical drum (his heart) and sings back her human shape.
They fall in love and live happily ever after.

Synopsis

Tehran Trace takes the same motion path slowly and silently across four still photographs; the foyer of the Hotel Laleh, the Mirror Hall of the Golestan Palace, a stone arch towards the north of the city, and a bazaar with a view of mountains. Each 'trace' begins close up, curves away from its opening subject and ends with the original image fully framed.
