He fought in Afghanistan and went missing in action there. 21 years later he returns to Estonia to attend his father’s funeral.

Ever since he has been writing letters to her into his dog-eared notebook. The town that used to be his home and where he begins to look for his daughter and his wife now feels like a ghostly and alien place. Slender young women dictate its life and rhythm, yet something has gone hopelessly astray in their lives. When the man whom they thought for years to be dead arrives, the women see him as someone who could resolve their troubles.

The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red (Jason Sudeikis, "We're the Millers", "Horrible Bosses"), a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck (Josh Gad in his first animated role since "Frozen"), and the volatile Bomb (Danny McBride, "This is the End", "Eastbound and Down") have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it’s up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to.
Youthful dreams, the best years of her life, health, home, husband, son, homeland – the Soviet regime took it all away, yet she survived. She survived to write it all down, so that generations to come would never forget the story that was forced on all of us.
Film based on the memoirs of Latvian writer Melanija Vanaga "Suddenly, a Criminal: Sixteen Years in Siberia".

So they come up with new crazy plans that should guarantee success in the Western world. That's when things go totally insane!
An enigmatic young woman in conflict - torn between reason and passion; between her woman's body and being raised as a prince; between the ancient and modern worlds and between the brilliance of her educated mind and the conservative forces around her. Crowned Queen at the age of six, Kristina of Sweden was thrust into a labyrinth of power and tradition, where a court of austere, Lutheran men pressure her to marry and produce an heir to fulfill her destiny.
Touko Laaksonen, a decorated officer, returns home after a harrowing and heroic experience serving his country in World War II, but life in Finland during peacetime proves equally distressing.

Touko finds refuge in his liberating art, specialising in homoerotic drawings of muscular men, free of inhabitations. His work – made famous by his signature 'Tom of Finland' – became the emblem of a generation of men and fanned the flames of a gay revolution.
