Sinopsis

Un hombre maduro decide cambiar de vida. Un solo acto de un joven abogado provoca el caos. Una mujer se enfrenta a la infidelidad de su marido. Un envidioso hombre de negocios busca venganza en un alegre compañero de trabajo. Y una joven y optimista mujer de la limpieza espera un milagro. La cuestión consiste en decidir si los hechos que nos afectan son puramente fortuitos o bien son el resultado de una conexión misteriosa entre las cosas. Las ideas que analiza son el significado de la verdadera felicidad, el eterno poder de la esperanza y sus efectos en nuestro frenético e inconexo mundo. (FILMAFFINITY)

The title "tot ziens" (au revoir, a farewell greeting that implicates that one will see eachother again), is the ironic description of the film, which is about going away for good and then coming back again, because something is always stronger than your ratio.

The New Black takes viewers into the pews and onto the streets and provides a seat at the kitchen table as it tells the story of the historic fight to win marriage equality in Maryland and charts the evolution of this divisive issue within the black community.

Conversations On Serious Topics is a film without exterior action, props, landscapes or special effects. Its main characters are children and teenagers with a special ability to describe the surrounding world.

Shot in a minimalist fashion, the film raises questions about loneliness, love, God, the world and human relations. "The world is people." "Don't you believe in God? I can teach you how to start believing..."

Young people dare to stand atop the 40' one-meter thick block structure and risk their fate by jumping into the roiling sea. This perilous tradition has continued for many generations, and has become a rite of passage for the children of Akka. "It's Better to Jump" is about the ancient walled city of Akka as it undergoes harsh economic pressures and vast social change. The film focuses on the aspirations and concerns of the Palestinian inhabitants who call the Old City home.
A/V
Duane is a successful salesman who wants to be a writer yet never makes time to actually write. After his coworker strays down a dark path, Duane abandons the corporate fast track for an easygoing job as a hotel audio/visual technician. But his colorful new workmates cause him to question whether this is the type of setting to nurture a dream or a hangover.

Menschenfrauen
Menschenfrauen is a film about relationships and the psychological oppression of women in society. Franz, a journalist, maintains relationships with four women. His three mistresses are introduced with television dreams of intense emotional violence (in the first dream, a mother shouts at her daughter, explaining that as a girl, she does not deserve a room of her own), and the fourth is his wife. He is desperate to have each to himself. Franz never offers a substantial sign of love, but is willing to say anything and make any promise for affection. His dependence on women for fulfilment is explained through arguments with his wife. He claims "I am my own sound. The women produce voices within me." An understandable and sometimes sympathetic antagonist is one of the films greatest strengths. The emotional damage he causes becomes believable.
