With the help of vain conman Vanheden, depressed explosives expert Harry, and the locked-up lock specialist Rocky, he and this perfectly odd crew perform the ultimate heist. Director: Robert Bellsolà / Cast: Simon J BERGER, Torkel PETERSSON, Alexander KARIM, Susanne THORSON / Language: Swedish / Subtitle: English / Runtime: Approx. 88 minutes / Theatrical Releases: 16 Jan 2015 (Sweden) / Territories: Worldwide excluding Japan and Scandinavia / Inflight Release: Aug 2015 Menu For Two (Spanish) Comedy OSCAR is a serious business-type from the city. DAN is an uncouth farm-boy, who waits tables at CAN PITU, the country restaurant belonging to OSCAR's father. They meet when DAN accidentally throws manure in OSCAR's face. Not long after, they discover that they are brothers! OSCAR is in hot water: he's already in the middle of a money-laundering scandal, when a dangerous Romanian client wants his million euros back—or OSCAR is a dead man. When their father dies, the brothers inherit CAN PITU, and OSCAR has no other choice but to hide out there with his snobby wife BELÉN. Of course, they have to share it with dopey DAN. While at CAN PITU, OSCAR meets YOLI, a very special woman. OSCAR rediscovers the pleasures of country life, and even learns to love his dingbat brother. But BELÉN arranges to sell CAN PITU -- and the Romanian mafia isn't giving up that easily.

Cult director Alex de la Iglesia came up with a smart solution. In this kaleidoscopic portrait, he avoids the classic interview scenarios, choosing instead to put his protagonists in a restaurant with the instruction to eat, drink and talk about Lionel Messi. The tables are packed with old friends and soccer colleagues from his time on the Rosario team, his former teachers and youth trainers, teammates from FC Barcelona, Argentine football stars of yesteryear, journalists, Messi experts and of course the unavoidable Johan Cruijff. While Barcelona midfielder
Mascherano wonders what it would be like to be Messi just for a moment, Cruijff puts a swift end to the eternal discussion about who is the best player of all time: “Thank goodness for Messi, otherwise we’d still be talking about Maradonna.” The conversations are interspersed with dramatizations of key moments from Messi’s youth: from the expensive hormone therapy that accelerated his difficult growth to his controversial move to Barcelona. Messi slowly comes to life through the lively discussions in the restaurant, reenactments and archive material. We get to know a shy boy who never lost his childlike love of play and who went on to become the hero of an unlikely adventure story.

Santili has a son, MANUEL - a dangerously spoiled 30-year-old playboy. Il Roscio promises that he´ll get him the sexiest girl he´s ever come across – TANYA. Mimmo is in charge of picking her up, but Manuel postpones his birthday party in the meantime, leaving Mimmo in charge of hosting Tanya for the day.

Some of them, however, explode. This is a movie about those people.

At night, she stares up at the universe, and she is taking lessons from a space fanatic who teaches schoolchildren about astronomy. At home, full of hope and longing, she watches recordings of the world's first female astronaut, Anousheh Ansari. So it is possible! When her father died suddenly six years ago, Sepideh discovered that she could feel closer to him by watching the stars. And so her dream was born, but not everyone appreciates her boundless ambition. After all, becoming an astronaut is not exactly a normal goal for a girl in Iran, particularly because there's no money to pay for university and beyond. Her mother and uncle are worried about the emancipated young woman. She doesn't want to learn to cook, hardly ever visits her family and doesn't seem to be thinking about marriage at all. We follow this brave young Iranian woman as she watches the stars, as well as at school, in the mosque and at home, where tensions steadily rise. As we follow Sepideh, it becomes clear just how at odds her dreams are with her current reality and the expectations of those around her. Fortunately, Sepideh is able to express all her thoughts, dreams and cares in the letters she writes to her hero, Albert Einstein.

Carlos lives alone and rarely interacts with anyone beyond his clients. No one would imagine that this shy and respectable tradesman is actually a murderer and a cannibal, remorselessly targeting Eastern European women who have no papers and filling his freezer with their flesh. Then the truly unexpected occurs: Nina, the Romanian twin sister of one of his victims, appears at his front door, and love slowly creeps in. Expertly shot and fluidly conveyed by director Manuel Martín Cuenca, Caníbal is steeped in the traditional values and religious overtones that define Spain's southern region, its story beginning just as Easter festivities approach. As in his previous feature, Half of Oscar, which screened at the Festival in 2010, landscape and geography play an integral role in Martín Cuenca's vision, giving opportunity to ponder the changing nature of Spanish society as interaction with the rest of Europe intensifies. As Carlos and Nina walk along the windy mountain paths of Granada's Sierra Nevada, Caníbal keeps us on edge, unsure if Carlos will lash out at this beauty. Borrowing many elements from
film noir, this disturbingly intoxicating film, made richer by de la Torre's complex and magnetic central performance, will have audiences enthralled. Caníbal interrogates one of society's greatest taboos through a romance that questions the nature of love and the outer limits of forgiveness — contemplating all the while the old adage that love conquers all.
