Ten years after becoming best friends and housemates, Chris (35) and Lluis (34) embark on a 600-kilometre hiking journey through the Scottish Highlands. They follow the West Highland Way and the Cape Wrath Trail, spending 30 days together in nature, hoping to breathe new life into their once unbreakable friendship. But while Chris is still preoccupied with work and life back home, Lluis is determined to complete the journey and prove that he can do it.

Voor De Meisjes

Two couples of friends have shared a holiday home in the Austrian Alps for years. When their teenage daughters become involved in an accident during a joint holiday, the seemingly solid friendship rapidly begins to crumble. Old grievances and pent-up frustrations drive the parents further and further apart when they learn that one daughter can be saved, but only if the other girl is sacrificed. What begins as a moral dilemma descends into an absurd struggle full of manipulation and desperate actions, as the boundaries of decency grow increasingly blurred. Because when it comes to your child, anything goes. Doesn’t it?

The Golden Spurtle

Since the Stone Age, few culinary traditions have stood the test of time as well as the nourishing bowl of porridge in the morning. This World Championship celebrates the oldest recipe in the world! The charismatic linchpin of the event is Charlie Miller. Despite his fragile health, he gives it one last everything to make the tournament a success and secure his legacy. The joy and pride of this small, close-knit community radiates from every scene. With a generous dose of Scottish self-deprecation, the Australian director and cameraman create a playful, nostalgic atmosphere, as if they have uncovered a hidden world in the heart of Scotland. A film that teaches you that getting your porridge right is harder than nuclear physics, and that you must always stir clockwise.
