Thriller:
A white English man and woman go to India with a British Indian man who wears tattoos including a swastika and has never been to India. They buy drugs and antiques, and are busy stuffing one into the other in their budget hotel when a lot of police arrive. There's a neat twist in that the white English man is fully at home and speaks the language fluently. He's easy-going too, and negotiates a bribe. The Indian police pick on and humiliate the British Indian man - he's aggressive and rude which doesn't help - saying he's 'neither one thing nor the other'. There's a 24-hour race to see if they can raise the bribe money and get their seized passports back. Shot on location in urban and (briefly) rural India, it's a taut action thriller with a tight script. It feels exactly authentic to its backpacking scenario - the uneven colour-matching fits its feel superbly - shot on buses, cheap hotels, tourist stalls, street cafes, with lots of real people seeming to be part of the film, and great performances from a large cast.

Documentary:
in fact, nothing is as romantic as it seems or we think.
especially for a small fisherman.once upon a time, you get up in the morning and look through the horizon. your eyes are red. your hands are chappy. you are cold. a fish yard protected by you, your father, his father, old people of Foça or lycians since thousands of years has been wretched by a big boat, say five tons of fish were caught overnight. and the yard has finished forever. the fish has finished. the sea has finished. the respect has finished. the love has finished. the neighbourhood has finished; most of the greek neighbours have moved far away...
lie and hypocrisy, greed and violence have started. that is what we are living through in today’s mediterranean and in today’s world...we are going to learn about the mediterranean sea, mother of seas.

Tooche was a Turkish immigrant living in Germany. She was married to Osman, another Turkish immigrant living in Germany. Once she got pregnant they decided to move back to their homeland so the child could be born in his real country. So they packed everything, put it in their old, big mercedes jeep and hit the road. Some years later when their financial problems became big. They decided to move back to Germany. They said to themselves that Germany was also their real country since they lived most of their lives there, and anyway it was a better place for their child to grow up. So they packed everything in their old, big mercedes jeep and hit the road. Years went by and Tooche's parents grew old and died. She decided that they had to go back to Turkey, which was their real country, in order to preserve their family name, and die in their original lands. Osman agreed. So they packed everything ...
