Synopsis

Third Star is the story of four young men, friends since childhood, who take an ill-advised camping trip to the farthest reaches of the West Wales coast. James has been diagnosed with a terminal illness so he and his friends know that the trip will be their last together. They use it both as an opportunity to experience the joy of a group adventure and to resolve the latent tensions that affect the group. The results are touching and funny, leaving an enduring sense of the courage and the dignity to be found in James and the beauty to be found in the friendship between him and the three other men.

Synopsis

We've all had 'one of those days' – when nothing seems to go right, when life just seems to be dealing you one poor hand after another. Unfortunately for Howard Whittam, that day is Judgment Day. Howard and his wife Jean have lived a very ordinary life. They’ve never taken drugs, overtaken on the inside lane, or run naked through a graveyard. An unkind observer might even say they were dull. But somewhere deep down, these law abiding English suburbanites believed that one day, divine justice would reward them for their propriety. But when Judgment Day does arrive, it’s a logistical disaster. Too many people, not enough staff. So when Howard finds that due to a clerical error, he has been mistaken for the genocidal maniac Vlad the Impaler, he begins a downward spiral into what seems like a never ending abyss of paper work and mindless officialdom.
