Synopsis

Sense & Sensibility: A Modern Retelling

Elle and Mare are opposites-steady vs. impulsive, cautious vs. romantic. Yet after their father's death, their clashing ways help balance each other through sorrow and love, showing that sisterhood is the strongest when differences unite.

What We Wanted to Be

An impossible love story that begins outside a movie theater, continues in a café and could end with the two protagonists together… if real life wasn’t much more complicated than the movies. United by their love of cinema, these two main characters decide to live the lives they dreamed of and not the lives they are destined to live. In a series of encounters, imagination triumphs over reality and everyday reality takes a back seat.
