Logline: When a whole family is murdered in Stockholm, Detective Inspector Joona Linna knows there is only one person who can help find the perpetrator. Erik Maria Bark, retired hypnotist, is called in to work with Josef Ek, a fifteen-year-old boy who witnessed the brutal murder of his family.

Logline: Story, set in 1962 Las Vegas, centers on a successful character film actor and a comedy vaudevillian nightclub performer who finds himself at a career crossroads as the new style of comedy makes him obsolete, and to complicate matters, his long-estranged young son shows up on his doorstep.

Logline: Dr. Alfred Jones, a fisheries scientist in London, is approached by a mysterious sheikh about an outlandish plan to introduce the sport of salmon fishing into the desert in Yemen. The Sheikh’s absurd vision of bringing faith and hope to his people fails to resonate with the faithless, unhappy Brit. However, after initially refusing the proposal, Dr. Jones is swayed by the British government, the Sheikh and the Sheikh’s glamourous real estate rep Harriet and into accepting the job. The result is a ridiculous look at the dysfunction of government bureaucracy and the importance of faith in the face of impossiblity.
