SOI TANAKAN
Soi Tanakan (Soi = The road Tanakan = bank in Thai) is a Bangkok neighbourhood busting with life, that revolves around a small winding road. In a word, it is a slum.
Majority of households owe money to the bank and its director, a loan shark in plain clothes, who has made his fortune with violence and money.
On the day our story begins, as a warning to all the defaulters, two killers are slowly killing Jorge, a long-term foreign resident in the Soi, who is several months late in his loan payments.
Police has no doubts: it's is a suicide case. But everyone in the community knows it is not the case. Like in a modern take of Hamlet, Jorge's ghost will reveal secrets, relationships, trickeries and will end up leading the community in a rebellion against the bank.

THE TWO BROTHERS
GAUDIUM
FRANCESCO BARTOLI, aka FRANK is a very promising neuroscientist; he is making researches on the coca leaf, a natural resource indigenous in Andean countries where it is cultivated and was used for more than five thousand years.
FRANK’s research could disrupt enormous economic interest in the trade of big pharma and of coca-derived beverages as well as in the underworld of narcotraffickers.
SULLA RIVA
“Sulla Riva” tells the story of an old farmer who seeks for redemption, having reached almost the end of his days, through an action of revenge towards the killer of a young man that he witnessed being executed, 20 years before. Following the narrative archetype of the “stranger”, the film explores “chambara” (referred to japanese "sword fighting" movies) in the different settings of a venetian countryside and society of the XVIII century.
