- A maintenance man’s summer affair with a rich beauty forces him to confront uncomfortable truths about himself -- including the extent of his courage to build a future with her.
- At a quirky restaurant in the south of France, the chef and waiters are enchanted with a mysterious, worldly gourmand who seduces gorgeous women with food. Everything changes when one of the waiters learns the truth about the man’s past.
- A Polish woman named Dottie insists on living at a Jewish nursing home, even though the other residents despise her. Is she merely senile, or is there another explanation for her bizarre behavior?
- When an old woman moves in with her daughter and 13-year-old granddaughter, the teenager learns about life, death, and what it means to grow up.
- A man on his honeymoon is terrified to leave the cruise ship to go ashore in Mexico with his wife—and for good reason, considering what happened when he was there last time.
