Synopsis

Keith has recently set up home with Claire in a suburban part of London leaving behind him a three year relationship with Julia and the inner city area he grew up in.

His action angers his sister and surprises his brother-in-law. Both attempt to change his mind but to no avail. He meets John on a routine call-out job. A mutual interest in football leads to John's offer of a free hotel room for Keith and his friend when they travel to Stockholm for an international football friendly taking place at the weekend. On route to the airport, realising he has left his passport, Keith returns home to find Claire in bed with Ryan, his brother-in-law.

Keith travels solo to Stockholm after his friend Dave, who has the match tickets, pulls out at the last moment. Angry, hurt and alone in a foreign city, Keith goes to the only place he knows; the hotel room offered by John. There he meets Anna, John's previous girlfriend, and ends up staying at her apartment. Over a period of several days, their complicated lives interweave as each one tries to manoeuvre the emotions of an unrequited love.

In Geneva's wealthy international circles, privileged expatriates navigate their luxurious lives while dealing with personal dramas and hidden secrets.

A young man, sits alone in a cafe, deep in thought. A bouquet of disregarded roses in front of him. The Game

Director: Blaize Mott

Year: 2026

Donald, a lonely young man desperate to improve his dating life, hires a manipulative pick-up artist, Charles, to teach him how to meet and attract women. Over the course of one night in London, Donald is pulled into a world of performance, pressure and control, where confidence becomes coercion and desire begins to blur with power. What began as a harmless lesson on love transforms into a night where the methods he is instructed to use to achieve his goal are far darker than he could have ever imagined.

Ken Russell's The Devils Ken Russell's The Devils

Director: Ken Russell

Year: 1971

A dramatized historical account of the rise and fall of Urbain Grandier, a 17th-century Roman Catholic priest accused of witchcraft following the supposed possessions in Loudun, France; it also focuses on Sister Jeanne des Anges, a sexually repressed nun who inadvertently incites the accusations. An enduring masterpiece of cinema, KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption – and a defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell. Assembled from the original camera negative, this new 4K restoration presents Ken Russell’s definitive vision of THE DEVILS by referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004. KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is the uncut and unfiltered theatrical experience that Russell always envisioned.
