For over 100 years audiences have struggled to understand our braw brogue: silent Harry Lauder films attempted an accent in the captions, and in Hollywood's golden era , everyone wanted to paint their tonsils tartan- but as examples from Katharine Hepburn, Orson Welles and Richard Chamberlain show, they couldnae.

Storm, quite simply is a video recording of a car ride at night in hurricane forces. This is visual art that delivers us from the purely visual back to the world of the physical experience with all our senses awakened. Instead of bringing us the installation photographic image – or the digitally enhanced photographic simulation – these artists direct us from the world of images to the world of things, inviting us to grapple with them at first hand.

Dennis and Barb McDonald are empty nesters from the suburbs. On this day they get legal possession of their new house. They have privately purchased the burned out house directly from its owner. John Jeffery grew up in this house. He has been living on the property since the fire destroyed the house a year ago. John is the last of the old families with deep roots still on the street. He is now surrounded by recent neighbours who are more interested in retrofitting character homes than the people who live in them.

Três histórias diferentes são contadas em "Vida Ácida": primeiro um rapaz, péssimo jogador amador de futebol, é expulso de seu time e tem, na sequência, o pior dia de sua vida, com uma série de decepções e fracassos, culminando em um encontro com Deus em um bar, que resolve se vingar de toda a humanidade, começando por ele; no segundo segmento, um rapaz apaixonado assume o filho e casa-se com uma mulher na esperança de constituir uma família feliz, mas um vizinho que se muda para o apartamento de cima vai perturbar a harmonia do casal; e por último, um jovem troca de corpo com um bebê recém-nascido e torna-se espião da vida de um casal com problemas conjugais. As histórias possuem como foco a miséria humana e a vida secreta de todo indivíduo.
