The Other Final
Rating GP (1 hr and 18 mins)
The Kingdom of Bhutan plays against the Caribbean Island of Montserrat in a game of football. What makes this engaging is the fact that the two countries have the honor of holding the last two places in the worldwide ranking of the 203 countries listed by FIFA or the Federation Internationale de Football Association.
To make it even more fascinating, the game will commence in Bhutan’s capital of Thiumphu at the same time as the top two contenders of the FIFA World Cup Finals play against each other in Yokohama Japan.
The brilliant author of this novel idea is an unlikely advertising consultant with a doctorate in communications.

Rating R13 (1 hr and 30 mins)
An orthodox Jew and an unorthodox man. The surprise is, despite their seemingly disparate appearances, these two characters are brothers. But what is not surprising is that they don’t get along.
What forces them to suddenly weave their worlds together is their desire to get their hands on their inheritance from their mother, which can only happen if they can prove to the lawyers that they have reconciled their differences.

Goodbye Lenin
Rating R13 (1 hr and 58 mins)
A staunch East German Communist falls into a coma. When she wakes up eight months later, everything seems normal. What she doesn’t know is that her son is working round the clock to hide the fact that while she was sleeping, the Berlin Wall has been torn down, the despised capitalism has encroached on her beloved Communism, and the once divided East Germany and West Germany are now united.
