Synopsis

London. 'I want to talk about love. I want to talk about friendship and deceit. I want to talk about the fact that up until three days ago, there were four people whose lives were OK. Not perfect but OK. But that was three days ago, and in three days it's all fallen apart....'





Frank, Daniel and Laurence have been friends since they can remember. Frank, an out of work actor, overindulges himself and is in constant competition with the rich, charming and successful Daniel. Laurence is their fall guy, the man with a sympathetic ear and capacity to bring them together. But this time Daniel has gone too far. He has stolen Frank's date and once again failed to turn up to a meeting of the three men. Frank is furious and ready to maim. Laurence tries but fails to placate. Frank is right, Daniel is far away - in Minneapolis, heading for the airport.





Martha is taking a trip. Paris $300? LA. $180? Mexico City $350? Seattle $130? Or London? A decision to change her life which changes the lives of others.

Synopsis

Chris and Toni have grown up together in suburban London in the early sixties. In an age full of angry young men they excel in their rebellion against the values of middle England and dream of the jazz clubs and boulevards of Paris. Trapped in 'Metroland', the suburban sprawl at the end of the London Underground's Metropolitan Line they were the best of friends.





By the end of the sixties both have escaped. Toni has disappeared to Africa while Chris is working in Paris and living with Annick, a liberated young French woman who embodies the freedom he dreamed of as a young man. His early hopes seem to have been fulfilled, but then he meets Marion, a young English girl. He falls in love and returns to London and the suburban life.





Nine years later, in 1977, Chris is happily married to Marion, back in Metroland with a young daughter. Then one day Toni returns from his travels. He has seen the world but has never settled down and cannot believe his friend has fallen into the life they so fully rejected.





Fired by the energy of Punk and the freedom of the seventies, he tries to show Chris that there is still a lot of adventure to be had in life, and that he is too young to settle down. Drawn to his friend, Chris starts to doubt the certainties he has built his life upon and starts to question the choices he has made. Then one night at a party he meets another woman and for the first time puts his marriage at risk.

He dives in aiming to swim a length underwater, but he runs out of air and has to come up. He surfaces, looks around - and sees he's treading water in a pond! Mildly confused, he ducks down again.

Synopsis

Nana is the documentary account of the lives, loves and experiences of four grandmothers as told to their own granddaughters. Filmed against a backdrop as culturally and filmically diverse as England, Palestine, Israel, France and New York, their stories are woven together to expose the rich, universal fabric of family emotions.





In London, Alison opens her story in conversation with her quintessentially English grandmother Kitty. In stark contrast, in Palestine Suheir approaches her grandmother Rashida with the respect due to the matriarch of 100 descendents. Fabienne is in New York, a world apart from Simone. Feeling responsible for her grandmother's imposed isolation, she goes to her in France to confront her guilt. Over in Israel, Ruti reincarnates images from her childhood where her highly spirited grandmother Blanche feeds her 'the moon'.





On one level, Nana questions the idea of 'a common destiny'. How much do we learn from our grandparents? Do we inevitably replicate them or do we simply beat our own paths in life? A many-stranded movie, Nana takes an inside look at who our grandmothers really are.
