Battle of the Sexes

competition 01:29:00

For centuries there was something wrong with the perception of women. While girls were supposed to stay virgins until their wedding day, boys were expected to gain manhood in the company of whores. Once a woman stopped being the man's property and was allowed the same voting rights, the inequality exposed itself in her professional and personal life. It was a woman who...

Eternal Summer/Odödliga

crime 06:44:00

Remember Romeo and Juliet, who tried to love each other despite opposing families? Recall Tristan and Isolde, who fell for each other despite knight's word and wife's promise to another man?

Four Weddings and a Funeral

comedy 03:48:00

Some easily get married and equally easily get divorced. Others last in a happy relationship for a lifetime, not needing any written document, official ceremony, change of surname, a white dress, and a suit.

The Name of the Rose

church 00:53:00

Behind the walls or remote monasteries lived people who were distinguished by their intelligence and education.

Don't you think that you work too much to buy too many unnecessary things?

Temple Grandin

animals 04:47:00

Our brains are extraordinary. They allow us to remember images, sounds, smells, numbers, and bring back memories from years before. They make it possible for us to learn, speak, write, communicate, and survive. Their individual structure put us in categories of predispositions, making some of us science and maths-oriented, others: artists, soothing our senses; skillful parents and teachers, bringing up generations of the...

anorexia 01:40:00

It's difficult to have a healthy relationship with food when the tastiest treats are the most unhealthy.

Remember that Jesus Christ had difficulty with persuading people that he is the son of God? He had to die and return from the dead to open the eyes of non-believers.

Behind every family, there is a facade of the censored version presented to family and coworkers, and there's the real life of grudges, hatred, and humiliation.

War isn't the best time for love. Instead of cheerful days by the river, bouquets of flowers, hearts cut from red pieces of paper and exchanges of goodnight kisses by the moonlight, you have pain, dirt, hatred, sickness, and death.

Africa 03:15:00

There is a strange belief among human beings that we, as species, are better than animals. We think that our inferiors have no feelings, attachment, and emotions whatsoever. They can be used for milk, meat, skin, fur, and jewelry, bred in disastrous conditions to multiply the profit. Some people like killing on their own terms, be the trigger to the bullet. They want...

Some women are extraordinary. They are born just like that, once in a million, among the crowds of obedient housewives, hardworking mothers, polite secretaries, and devoted teachers.

In the bubble of excess, consumption, fast food and fast life we lose the sense and purpose. In the chaos of greed, we lose what is the most important.

Desperately Seeking Susan

Women tend to obsess about clothes, hairstyles, boyfriends, and gossip. They don't like the boring routine of uneventful lives, relationships which lead to nothing and being closed in a cage of same old romance, money-talk, and circle of friends. They also seem to obsess about other women, comparing themselves endlessly to the image which they would like to follow. The problem is when...

Missionary position for the purpose of procreation can be a slogan promoted by the Church, however, many members of the Church proved over the years that it is not their favorite.

When we are children it's enough to listen to a scary story to make us wet our beds, sleep with our parents or avoid basements, attics, and cemeteries for years. When we are adults we either try to overcome our phobias or try to hide them, feeling ashamed of our weaknesses in the reasonable world of work and family life. But the game...

Kids are very often wittier and more responsible than their parents. They can also notice things that adults are too blinded to pay attention to.

It's really difficult sometimes to distinguish a victim from a villain.
