Despite her efforts, Bobby displays troubling behaviour both at his school and in their conservative neighbourhood.

Claude Peres takes viewers on a haunting and intimate journey with this groundbreaking erotic drama. The premise is simple: Peres and a man he's never met will sleep together while the cameras roll. No contract, no film crew, no boundaries. The end result is a film that challenges viewers to look into the heart of human desire.

Peres loosely structures the encounter as an interview in which he poses piercing questions to his on-screen lover, himself, and the audience.

Out now on DVD

A life-size Air Doll (Doona Bae) lives in a shabby apartment in Tokyo. She cannot speak, nor can she move. But she is the only companion her middle-aged master has. He talks to her, puts her in a bath and makes love with her every evening after he returns home from work.

This routine life is disrupted when fantasy turns into reality. The Air Doll suddenly comes to life, filled with a soul. Like a newborn baby, she doesn't understand what is going on around her, but she sees a world waiting to be explored outside the apartment. Eventually venturing to the outside world, the Air Doll is fascinated by everything she sees, and though she meets many people in all walks of life, they can't seem to provide her an answer to what "being alive" means.

EL ALMA DE LAS MOSCAS
Out now on DVD

By turns comic, poignant, absurd and profoundly moving, The Soul of Flies tells the story of the two sons of Evaristo de la Sierra - who never met their father and whose mutual existence they both ignored - until Evaristo sends them a letter inviting them to his funeral.

The two brothers meet at a train station (where the train hasn't gone by in years), which serves as the starting point of their surreal wanderings through barren landscapes, punctuated by chance encounters with the weird and wonderful characters that inhabit that land. These include a suicidal narcoleptic; a man with serious anger issues towards funerals; a bunch of thieving musicians and a young woman in love with the spring.

ARMY OF SAVIOURS
Out now on DVD

Army of Saviours is based on the memories of Marga Spiegel. In her narrative, published in 1965, she describes how courageous farmers in southern Münsterland hid her, her husband Siegfried and their little daughter Karin from 1943 until 1945, thus saving them from deportation to the extermination camps in the East. The film tells this story of survival with a sense for the absurd in daily life and not without humour.

Without reservation, the farmers offer the refugees their protection. That this turns them into heroes would never occur to them. They are used to weathering even dangerous situations somehow, guided only by their instinct and century-old code of ethics. They risk their own lives, and, if necessary, even that of their families. There is never a discussion about friendship, reliability, humanity.
