Synopsis
Dennis is a quietly handsome and bookish college student. His older brother, Bill, is a rough hewn ladies' man and thief. Thrown together to search for their estranged father, they confront their expectations of each other, themselves, and their attitudes towards women.
Hal Hartley's unconventional road movie rolls up timeless musings on masculinity with a fresh incarnation of Jean-Luc Goddard's rebellious spirit set in the sleepy bars and petrol stations of upstate New York and Long Island. A daring, comic gem of 90s indie filmmaking.

The Romantic Exiles

Synopsis
Without any apparent reason, three friends embark on a random journey. Some would say it is about burning the last vestiges of youth while others may talk about the inevitable decadence of the male gender.
Either way, The Romantic Exiles touches on these topics and other equally profound themes during a journey that is both long and simultaneously short, in which Vito, Luis and Francesco face their romantic pasts with the sole mission of surprising themselves and continuing to feel alive.
Delicately observed and shot on the go, Spanish director Jonas Trueba fashions an honest ode to love, friendship, and a warm welcome to the summer of life.
