A divorced
and single parent, Eva spends her days enjoying work as a masseuse but dreading
her daughter's impending departure for college. She meets Albert - a sweet,
funny and like-minded man also facing an empty nest. As their romance quickly
blossoms, Eva befriends Marianne, her new massage client. Marianne is a
beautiful poet who seems "almost perfect" except for one prominent
quality: she rags on her ex-husband way too much. Suddenly, Eva finds herself
doubting her own relationship with Albert as she learns the truth about
Marianne's ex.
Like Father, Like Son
Would you
choose your natural son, or the son you believed was yours after spending 6
years together? Kore-eda Hirokazu, the globally acclaimed director of
"Nobody Knows", "Still Walking" and "I Wish",
returns to the big screen with another family - a family thrown into torment
after a phone call from the hospital where the son was born... Ryota has earned
everything he has by his hard work, and believes nothing can stop him from
pursuing his perfect life as a winner. Then one day, he and his wife, Midori, get
an unexpected phone call from the hospital. Their 6-year-old son, Keita, is not
'their' son - the hospital gave them the wrong baby. Ryota is forced to make a
life-changing decision, to choose between 'nature' and 'nurture.' Seeing
Midori's devotion to Keita even after learning his origin, and communicating
with the rough yet caring family that has raised his natural son for the last
six years, Ryota also starts to question himself: has he really been a 'father'
all these years.
Love, Marilyn
Of all the
stars in Hollywood's history, no one had a more potent mix of glamor and
tragedy than Marilyn Monroe. Through performed readings of her personal papers,
this film explores the life and personal thoughts of this seminal movie star
and how she achieved her dream with determination and audacity. Furthermore,
through additional readings and interviews of her colleagues and acquaintances,
we also follow her emotional self-destruction under the sexist pressures of
Hollywood until her premature death in 1962.
Two highway
road workers spend the summer of 1988 away from their city lives. The isolated
landscape becomes a place of misadventure as the men find themselves at odds
with each other and the women they left behind.
Elise and
Didier fall in love at first sight, in spite of their differences. He talks,
she listens. He's a romantic atheist, she's a religious realist. When their
daughter becomes seriously ill, their love is put on trial.
