Sophie lives a comfortable, if somewhat dull, life with her partner Xavier. Until she meets Sylvain, it doesn’t even occur to her that passion is missing from her life. However, when a philosophy professor and a handsome builder accidentally collide, not only does a spark jump, but the entire forest catches fire.

Sophie is soon faced with the decision of whether to give priority to her heart or her intellect: Would she rather have a down-to-earth, sexy craftsman with a penchant for racism, or a salon intellectual who won’t make you cry, but you don’t have to be ashamed of him in front of your friends?

The Old Oak is the story of a village in the North East of England where a colliery has closed and the people feel cut off from the rest of the world. Many young people have left and the once prosperous and proud community is struggling to maintain its old values. But anger, resentment, and a lack of hope are growing. Houses here are cheap and affordable. This makes the village an ideal location for the Syrian refugees Britain has taken in in recent years. How will the Syrians be received? And what will be the future of the Old Oak – the village’s last remaining pub?

Drama. Great Britain/France, 2023, 100 min. Directed by: Ken Loach. Starring: Dave Turner, Ebla Mari, Debbie Honeywood, Trevor Fox, Rob Kirtley, Laura Lee Daly…

A story from a ruthless time when nature was still untamed and full of danger, it is about an apple distiller who loses everything, finds himself bare-backed in the wilderness and has to gradually work his way up to the best woodsman far and wide.

In doing so, they will test their wits, strength and tenacity not only against the elements, but also against the wild animals, led by the titular hundreds of beavers. Video game-narrated survival revives the genre of silent slapstick for the new millennium.

Comedy/Adventure/Action. USA, 2022, 108 min. Directed by: Mike Cheslik. Starring: Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, Olivia Graves, Doug Mancheski, Wes Tank, Luis Rico, Brendan Steere, Mike Cheslik, Jon Truei, Tobias Christian Wong…
