In the name of...

Synopsis

Three women: Ona, a pop star, Jude, a celebrated stripper and Hon, a judo player pursue, to the exclusion of everything else, their respective goals and ambitions.

Ona starts judo training as a new fad in order to maintain the interest of her fans in her. Hon in addition to her obsessive judo training, also works as a bouncer in the lap dance club where Jude appears. Jude lands an offer she cannot refuse.

A company producing the most expensive diamonds in the world is experiencing a decline in sales and is looking for a strategy to turn it around. It has hired one of the most experienced PR experts in the field.
Suddenly opportunities present themselves, which could change the lives of the three women beyond all recognition putting their true motivations and passions to the test.

A thought provoking film that challenges everybody’s perception of success.

Savage House Savage House

Director: Peter Glanz

Year: 2026

England, 18th Century. The Savages are at their lowest: they despise each other, their house is falling apart, and they are disliked in polite society - sleeping with their servants, and selling off jewellery to keep their gambling and drinking going. Oh, and Chauncey Savage’s foot might be rotting off. This is until they are set to be visited by higher ranking nobleman. The honour gives them a renewed energy to get new outfits, polish their silver, and hire new help to make sure the House of Savage is looking as impressive as possible.
