Synopsis

Synopsis

A fleeting encounter on a night-out leads to the chance of something special - an opportunity not to be missed?

Synopsis

One For The Road is a British anti-buddy movie exploring the frailty and weakness of male bonding. A black comedy, following the lives of four men who meet on a rehabilitation course for drink drivers who have lost their licences.
Jimmy is young, ambitious and desperate to sell his late father's business; Paul has been salesman of the year three times running; Richard is a retired millionaire property developer and Mark, likable and honest, is a marijuana dependant taxi driver come part-time philosopher.
Very quickly they realise the course is the networking opportunity of a lifetime as Paul, Mark and Jimmy plot to relieve Richard of some of his wealth. However, unbeknown to them, he is savvy to their plans and is always one step ahead.
An innovative black comedy, the film pushes the boundaries of digital video technology as it follows the events of the four men on a week long course, bonding over the idiocy of Role Play, the battlefields of Paintball, nights of drinking and impotent passion, and an end of course celebration party round the pool at the millionaire's mansion.

Synopsis

The screenplay for this animated feature film takes as its inspiration a Celtic text called Y Mabinogi ('tales of young men'). The film starts in live action where we meet contemporary Welsh teenagers.

On his eighteenth birthday Lleu's world is shaken by the news that he is adopted. On the same day, his friend Rhiannon thinks that she may be pregnant, and Dan, who lives in his big brother's shadow, is as scatty as ever.

They all put their problems aside for the day when they come together to celebrate Lleu's birthday. Venturing on a boat trip along the Welsh coast they suddenly see a change in the water. They realise that, on May Eve, they have found the golden gateway to the OtherWorld, which can be seen shining deep beneath the waters.

Being an independent and stubborn girl, Rhiannon doesn't think twice before plunging into the sea, and the other two are not far behind. As they swim deeper and deeper and get closer and closer to the golden gateway, they are transformed into animated characters, and transported back many centuries to the Celtic world of the Mabinogi.

But Rhiannon, Manawydan and Lleu Llaw Gyffes have their own Sixth Century problems! Rhiannon is being forced to marry someone she doesn't love, Manawydan is trying to make things right after his brother's malicious and violent scheming, and Lleu is trying to come to terms with his mother's rejection of him.

While trying to overcome these problems, the characters have to deal with the conþict between fate, personal choice and magic. Alongside this we have scenes of vast battles and gritty man-to-man fighting in an action-packed story of ancient Celts in a dangerous and sometimes magical world!

Once inside, Sam becomes a bully and joins in the ritualistic taunting of the weaker, new inmates.

An unusual documentary about London: sounds from interiors of locations heard over images of exteriors.

Synopsis

Paradise Grove is the first film by award-winning TV and theatre director Charles Harris. A new British Independent movie, a bittersweet coming-of-age story set in a Jewish old age home in North London, it is also, remarkably, the first contemporary Jewish movie to be made in the UK for ten years.

Paradise Grove is a film with a distinctive and unusual voice. Starting with deceptively gentle comedy, it woos us with a colourful parade of sharply observed characters, each with their own quirks and eccentricities, before building to a moving climax with a strong emotional punch.
