  In war torn Eastern Europe a young nurse named Carole saves valuable lives as part of a humanitarian aid group. Soon her mission will be over and it will be time to return home. But what seems like a shortcut to freedom soon turns into a journey of agonising, torturous pain beyond the human threshold. Pulled from their vehicle by a brutal group of armed, masked assailants, Carole and two of her colleagues are held captive within an isolated underground bunker. Initially assuming that the kidnapping is politically motivated, the truth is far more horrific than they could possibly imagine. Now Carole’s only mission is to survive. But it’s a living hell where staying alive is one thing, but staying in one piece is another. Completely shocking in its depiction of onscreen violence, Caged has already gained notoriety as a stylish, unforgettable and gruesomely relentless example of extreme cinema at its most terrifying.

  Together: 1975 Sweden. Tired of her abusive husband Elisabeth packs her bags and moves with her children to her brother's commune 'Together'. As a fairly ordinary housewife from the suburbs the commune's freewheeling attitudes towards sex and politics will open Elisabeth's eyes and change her family's life forever.

It's about love and divorce and happiness and unhappiness and children and adults and ABBA and sex and football. (Dir. Lukas Moodysson Swedish 2000) Dear Wendy: One shot is all it takes..... Dick a loner living in a poor US mining town happens upon a small antique handgun and finds himself strangely drawn to it.

But they soon find themselves in a predicament where they realise that rules are made to be broken... (Dir. Thomas Vinterberg 2005) Vodka Lemon: In the tiny Kurdish village of Caucasus lives widowed army veteran Hamo.

Each day he brushes the fresh snow from her grave. Each day he spies on Nina an attractive widow taking a few contemplative hours out from her lowly job on a roadside lemon vodka stall. With the sporadic letters from his son yielding little in the way of comfort or money Hamo's thoughts turn to his burgeoning friendship with the beguiling Nina on the silent empty bus journey from the village to the cemetary and back...
