Veronique

Synopsis

Veronique, the cool French actress from Paris, is the girlfriend of our 'hero' boy. Every morning they meet on the bus on their way to school and as the days pass by their relationship grows stronger and stronger. Or at least that is what the boy tells his best friend. The film is about the innocence of love, when a person has a crush on someone they have never even met. When we are young these moments can be so important to us because they can act as a substitute before we experience our first 'real' relationship. It's about how it is to daydream and to fall in love. Even if it's only for a week or two.

Jaydeep talking in the bedroom Life Is 4 ½ Metres

Director: Jeevan Singh

Year: 2026

A coming-of-age drama exploring identity, faith and belonging. What begins as an internal conflict develops into an emotional journey that forces the central character to confront what his faith, family and heritage truly mean to him. Inspired by true events, Life Is 4½ Metres is an intimate and heartfelt story about growing up, the bonds between father and son, and the quiet struggles that can shape a young person’s identity. At its heart, the film explores how the traditions we sometimes question can ultimately become the things that connect us most deeply to who we are.
