Party girl
Семнадцатилетний Микки - «просто какой-то чувак», лишенный личности, со слов его брата. После вечеринки, которая разрушает его дом, Микки обречен провести остаток лета в своем семейном коттедже, где оба его родителя избегают иметь дело со своим кризисом отношений. Но спокойствие финской деревни рушится когда Микки встречает Элиаса. У мальчиков нет ничего общего, кроме их возраста и неблагополучных семей. Но что-то тянет их друг к другу.
The Artist
A journalist (Liane Balaban) meets “Man of Today” (Paul Ahmarani) who, while a responsible citizen, is disengaged from greater society. He believes once he’s dead nothing more matters. As an experiment to see if she can turn his pessimistic view around, the journalist sends him on a journey of enlightenment to prove that the future does matter. Travelling the globe, he finds himself in surprising encounters with great minds in the arts and sciences. Starting with an unexpected poetry reading and conversation with experimental poet Christian Bök, Man of Today engages with architect Shigeru Ban, activist Francis Dupuis-Déri, philosopher Alain de Botton, artist Marlene Dumas, novelist Rivka Galchen, leading scientists and a ghost. Will the journalist succeed in turning a cynic into an optimist? Will it matter? What can one person do?
