Set in one of the capital's parks on a hot summer day when the asphalt is melting and there is madness in the baking concrete, Lindsey, Julie and Amira are bunking off school.

Then Lindsey's cramps become suddenly crippling, and hiding in the bushes behind the playground they realise that she is having a baby.

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.

Synopsis

In a little Victorian theatre in the East End of London, the infamous story of the five victims of Jack the Ripper is being recreated in a rock musical. The film takes us away from the stage and out into the real murder locations. Entwined with the stage performance is an equally disturbing backstage drama. Jenni (Gillian MacGregor), is a new actress, and she's late for the show. We've seen her in a car with two businessmen, Geoffrey (Roy Hudd) and Andrew; she is seen running away from the car by a concerned policeman. Back at the theatre, Trevor (Tom Wontner) is a young stagehand, shy and a bit of an 'anorak'; he takes life seriously. Jenni, whose innocent looks disguise a brittle, sarcastic manner, is rude to all other actors and dismissive of Trevor's fascination with Jack the Ripper. Jenni is alarmed by a strange-looking lurker. No one else sees him, but Trevor is sympathetic. Back at the theatre, Jenni and Trevor find that they have more in common than they expect, but she continues to be alarmed by the appearances of the lurker, while on-stage we hear the gruesome details about each of the Ripper's victims. Jenni is to play the last victim, Mary Jane Kelly, but has become convinced that she is at risk. She turns to Trevor, the only person who seems to understand. But then Trevor finds out a secret about Jenni that tears them apart!

Synopsis

When war breaks out in the lull of summer 1914, it surprises and pulls millions of men in its wake.

Christmas arrives, with its snow and multitude of family and army presents. But the surprise won't come from inside the generous parcels which lie in the French, Scottish and German trenches.

That night, a momentous event will turn the destinies of four characters: an Anglican priest, a French lieutenant, an exceptional tenor and the one he loves, a wonderful soprano and singing partner. During this Christmas Eve, the unthinkable will happen: rifles will be left at the bottom of the trenches as the soldiers go to see those opposite, shake their hands, exchange a cigarette and a piece of chocolate, and wish them 'Merry Christmas'.
