- 9th Ward是美國紐奧良市極具傳奇色彩的街區,獨特的文化氛圍和親密的鄰里關係,孕育著一代代紐奧良文化的傳承者,有著音樂天賦的高中生Aurora便是其中一位。但她也和其他很多生活在以黑人為主的社區的孩子們一樣,承受著歷史和制度對黑人社區的不公所帶來的困擾甚至是威脅,而Katrina颶風更是讓9th Ward原本脆弱的社區生態雪上加霜。青梅竹馬的表哥曾和她一樣在學校名列前茅,但如今卻身負著惡性謀殺的重大嫌疑。面對媒體上滾動播放的與自己同齡的被害少女遺像、被害人父親含淚拋出的高額懸賞、為家用入不敷出爭吵的父母、對街頭氾濫槍支的憎惡、步入歧途卻珍視親情的表哥……即將高中畢業的Aurora將如何抉擇?
- In the early '90s, the Yugoslavian Government cancelled the autonomy of Kosovo, dissolved its Parliament and closed down the National Television. All institutional life was reorganized by the new authorities, while the majority of the citizens responded with peaceful demonstrations. During this terrible time, Fadili, who works as an archivist, has to choose between two options, knowing that both of them are wrong. He therefore involuntarily and unwillingly "swallows" the shame, endures the pressure bearing down from all sides and puts up with the bad reputation for only one reason: to provide for his family.
- We are in the year 2001, a temporary ceasefire brings a much-needed break to a small war-torn village in Northern Nepal, bringing much joy among the residents. Prakash and Kiran, two young close friends, are also starting to feel the change in the air. Though they are divided by caste and social creed, they remain inseparable, and start raising a hen given to Prakash by his sister, with hopes to save money by selling her eggs. However, the hen goes missing. To find it, they embark on a journey, innocently unaware of the tyranny brought by the fragile ceasefire.
