What Maisie Knew
Based on the Henry James novella, the story frames on 7-year-old Maisie, caught in a custody battle between her mother â a rock and roll icon â and her father. What Maisie Knew is an evocative portrayal of the chaos of adult life seen entirely from a childâs point of view.
Do Not Disturb
Jeff unexpectedly shows up on Benâs doorstep at 2am. Since their college days, theyâve taken very different paths. Jeff is still the wild man, a serial lover, an artist and eternal vagabond whoâs never stopped roaming the world. Ben has settled down with chilled-out and wonderful Anna; they bought a small and comfortable house in the suburbs and started trying to make a baby. But this quiet life is disrupted by the whirlwind that is Jeff, especially when he takes Ben to a wild party, from which they return at dawn, having made a decision that is about to turn all of their lives upside down.
Greetings from Tim Buckley
Greetings from Tim Buckley follows the story of the days leading up to Jeff Buckleyâs eminent 1991 performance at his fatherâs tribute concert in St. Annâs Church. Through a romance with a young woman working at the concert, he learns to embrace all of his feelings toward the father who abandoned him â longing, anger, forgiveness, and love. Culminating in a cathartic performance of his fatherâs most famous songs, Jeffâs debut stuns the audience and launches his career as one of the greatest young musicians of his time.
Lines of Wellington
After the failed attempts of Junot and Soult in 1807 and 1809, Napoleon Bonaparte sent a powerful army, commanded by Marshal Massena, to invade Portugal in 1810. The French easily reached the centre of the country, where the Anglo-Portuguese army, led by General Wellington, was waiting.
