Synopsis:
A Norwegian woman, Sonia, and her children join her husband in 1970s Trinidad, where he is stationed as an engineer in the oilfields.

When Sonia discovers her husband is involved with a Trinidadian woman, her world falls apart and she must find a way to mend it.

20 June 2013: ‘Fish n’ Chips’, by Cypriot director Elias Demetriou
Synopsis: Andy, a hard working Cypriot immigrant in London who deep-fries his way into oblivion, decides to leave London for his native Cyprus. Having slaved away for others his entire life, he finally opens his very own chip shop. But his dream turns into a nightmare, as he seems to have overlooked one small detail: Cyprus just isn't London!

21 June 2013: ‘Shadows and Faces’, by Cypriot director Dervis Zaim
Synopsis: The film is set against the background of the beginning of the conflict between Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots in 1963. A teenage girl is separated from her father, a shadow play master, when the two are forced to flee from their village by escalating violence. Her attempts to find her father are intertwined with the consequences of an ever increasingly oppressive Greek regime. More than mere shadows and faces, characters and situations are presented in their complex depth to create a human drama that is both contemporary relevant and remarkable achievement.
