IS ANYBODY THERE ?
The Story:
Set in 1980s seaside England, this is the story of Edward (Bill Milner), an unusual ten year old boy growing up in an old people's home run by his parents. Whilst his mother (Anne-Marie Duff) struggles to keep the family business afloat, and his father (David Morrissey) copes with the onset of mid-life crisis, Edward is busy tape-recording the elderly residents to try and discover what happens when they die.
Increasingly obsessed with ghosts and the afterlife, Edward's is a rather lonely existence until he meets Clarence (Michael Caine), the latest recruit to the home, a retired magician with a liberating streak of anarchy.
Their relationship begins at odds until Clarence notices that the boy is growing up even more fitfully than he is growing old. As they begin to face life together, Clarence comes to terms with his past, Edward tames his obsession with the unknown and they are both reminded of what magic is possible when life is lived to its fullest.

REAL TIME
The Story:
Andy Hayes (Jay Baruchel), a hyperactive compulsive gambler, is plucked off the street by the calm yet imposing Reuban (Randy Quaid). Reuban tells Andy that he's been dispatched to kill him. Andy doesn't believe him at first. He figures it's just another one of Reuban's scare tactics to get him to pay off his gambling debt. After a few punches to the head and a gun held to his face, Andy finally gets it. Reuban is really going to kill him— but not before Andy gets an hour to do whatever he'd like before he dies.
Reuban is a little surprised when Andy chooses to spend his hour looking for a hooker, seeking revenge on a former boss and trying to find his old Playdough barber shop toy at Grandma's. But as we move closer to the deadline, we see there is more to Andy than we first thought and Reuban turns out to have a secret or two of his own.

AMREEKA
The Story:
A Palestinian single mom Muna (Nisreen Faour) and her teenage son arrive in rural Illinois to escape a life of oppression, only to face the fallout from America's war on Iraq.
West Bank, just prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, with divorced Muna's discovery of the green card that will take her and 16-year-old Fadi (Melkar Muallem) away from their daily drive through menacing checkpoints to Jerusalem. More of a similar nature, however, accompanies Muna and her son at the Chicago airport, where the modest seed money she had naively wrapped in a cookie tin gets confiscated by customs agents, leaving her broke upon arrival at the suburban home of her sister Raghda (Hiam Abbass), married with three kids.
Thickly accented Muna tries and fails to land a bank management job similar to the one she held back home, leading her to take work at a White Castle and struggle to keep it secret from her sister and son, and laying the groundwork for a gentle, not-quite romance between Muna and Mr. Novatski (Joseph Ziegler) the Jewish principal of Fadi’s school.
Though Muna and her family are both a culture without a state and strangers in a strange land, they learn that the meaning of home transcends borders, and love needs no checkpoints.

AMEXICANO
AMEXICANO
The Story:
Bruno (Carmine Famiglietti), an overweight average Joe who's unemployed, is offered an off-the-books construction job by his landlord and friend Alex (Michael Aronov). He's told to pick out a helper at a corner of Northern Boulevard, where Hispanic illegals hang out looking for work.
Bruno reluctantly agrees, only half-joking about his ethnic prejudices, but the first guy he picks up, Diego (Manny Perez), lives up to all his worst fears.
His second attempt, however, yields Ignacio (Raul Castillo), an open, thoroughly likeable, competent and hard-working young man, who speaks little English. Soon the two are teaching each other their respective tongues, sharing lunches and becoming best buds.
Ignacio's lovely, rather impish wife Gabriela (Jennifer Pena) invites Bruno to their home, and Bruno soon becomes the odd Italian out, awaiting gigs on Northern Boulevard with the Mexican guys and attending Mexican birthday parties and soccer matches. He is accepted by all except Diego, who has citizenship papers and bullies anyone who dares to stand up to him, threatening to turn them in to the immigration authorities.
An unprovoked attack lands Ignacio first in the hospital and then back in Mexico, and strands Bruno with Gabriela, to whom he is increasingly drawn.
