Isn't it frustrating when there's somebody who has everything you don't? It seems to be a mischevious giggle of fate when you are born in poverty, with no chances for education and career and there are those who, having it all, squander their parents' wealth, cheat their beautiful woman, and waste their life away. Nothing is yet lost. Having a bit of luck and talent for impersonating others can help you jump a few steps of the social career ladder and enjoy the life of privilege. But can your obsession with the bold, beautiful and well-to-do turn into an avalanche of irreversible deeds and a paranoid escape from being caught? Can you love someone so much that you can literally take their place in the world? Italy in the background, The Talented Mr. Ripley.
In a lunatic asylum, nothing is what it seems to be. Friends could be your enemies, dangerous patients turn out to be your support and most reliable doctors end up being your biggest threat. Can you trust those who cannot rely on themselves? Are you to be trusted? Can you solve a mystery among dangerous maniacs and criminals? Can you deal with your own trauma and past which haunts you and painfully disturbs your professional life? And finally, can you unwillingly be a part of a bigger plot? Nothing is entirely clear on Shutter Island, enjoy.
Life puts us in situations which measure the strength of our relationships. What a better way to test yourself than to change the safe environment and try something new to break a routine? Maybe this way you will realize that your bonds bind you to the wrong people and the causes of your frustrations are in reality more understanding and closer to heart. Leave the university coziness and jump to weekend adventure! Can a day in a big city be a realization of more than one living lie? A Rainy Day in New York.
There are few things you cannot buy, among them youth, love, and talent. The last one is rare, it happens once in hundreds of thousands. You cannot learn it, attend courses of creativity, singing classes, painting workshops. You can delude yourself that you will surpass your masters, but only those who have it have a chance for a career. The world, however, is paved with bad intentions and people borrow what does not belong to them. What if the person whom you trusted the most happened to use your talent to their advantage? Is it easy to break the circle of lies and find your own voice? Why is it so difficult for a sensitive soul to stand by her art and why so many obedient wives are easily deceived? Based on facts, a story about a marriage. Big Eyes.
You can laugh at the unfairness of the world, but it's no laughing matter. The gap between the rich and the poor widens at the galloping pace of increasing world population. Some have everything: expensive education possibilities, private tutors, career prospects, luxury houses, fashion items, and servants to carry out the most mundane chores. Others have literally nothing with no food to put on the table and nothing to make them survive until the next day. But luck shifts and when one door closes another door opens, so when you get your foot in the door, you can make others enjoy your chance for the privilege. What if one impoverished family managed to deceive the rich and naive one and reap some of their harvests? Bittersweet, funny, and unbelievably good on the most humane level. Parasite.
