Around the Sun Around the Sun

Director: Oliver Krimpas

Year: 2019

A film location finder is shown around a repossessed, crumbling French château. Over the course of the afternoon, he slowly falls for both the place and the owner’s flirtatious representative, as she recounts the story of a famous book set there. But is their present-tense connection for real, or just a projection of the book’s 17th Century characters?

Walking Home Walking Home

Director: Oliver Krimpas

An innocent flirtation between a man and a woman across an empty tube carriage late at night turns sinister. The man alights with the woman and trails her as she walks home. But as he turns down a side street, she begins to follow him.

Hard Labour Hard Labour

Director: Oliver Krimpas

Year: 2004

Simon and Emily enjoy a designer lifestyle, complete with toddler Toby - a child they have little time for. Luckily Toby adores Yelena, their Croatian au pair. Thanks to her, Emily never has to get up in the night. Not so Simon, who visits Yelena's bed while Emily snores. For him it's just easy, on-tap sex. But for Yelena it's love.<br />  <br /> When Yelena falls pregnant, Simon persuades her to have an abortion. Fearful of losing her job and the visa that goes with it, and desperate to keep the man she loves, she reluctantly agrees. Or so Simon thinks. But when Emily announces her own pregnancy, Yelena tells Simon she never went through with the termination. Either he persuades Emily to keep her on, or Yelena will reveal whose child she is carrying.<br />  <br /> Emily agrees, more out of self-interest than charity. Good help is so hard to find.<br />  <br /> But then, with both babies due any day. Yelena suddenly returns to Croatia - much to Emily's annoyance and Simon's relief.<br />   <br /> The blackmail seems to be over. But the revenge has only just begun.<br />
