Grand Jeté

For many years Nadja was a famous ballet dancer. She trained her body mercilessly since her childhood. Ballet dancing has now become more and more of an obstacle in life and a source of constant pain. How to align your life after years of self-sacrifice and control? Even her work as a ballet teacher cannot fill this void. In search of a new orientation in life, Nadja returns home to her mother, Hanne, and meets Mario who is her son. Nadja had given birth to Mario when she was teenager, but her mother raised him so Nadja could devote herself entirely to ballet. The two, who have hardly ever met, meet as strangers - and feel physically attracted to each other from the first moment of meeting. Mario also deals intensively with his body, trains it, explores its limits with a carelessness and freedom that is unknown to Nadja and all the more attractive. The two of them gradually allow themselves to be seduced by their mutual attraction and develop an intense, passionate relationship that is stripped of all moral conventions. Their physical encounters become more and more a struggle for their own self and a rediscovery in the other.

Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story

1 hr 25 mins
While he's out fishing with his Mennonite friend Jeremiah Peters on the morning of 2 June, Amish Eli Weaver receives a message via a call to Jeremiah's cell phone that Eli's wife, 29-year-old Barbara Weaver, has been found shot dead in their bed. While the Amish elders want to deal with the issue solely within their community, the Wayne County Sheriff's Department is forced to investigate in the murder having taken place in their jurisdiction, the two investigators being Detectives Bruce London and Mike Maxwell. What is subsequently shown is the current investigation interspersed with flashbacks of Eli and Barbara's life, which Eli admits to the investigators was not always perfect. Those flashbacks show that prior to their marriage, Barbara wanted to marry for romantic love, which is not the Amish way. Eli seemingly wanted the same; he was the black sheep of his family in not always adhering to Amish strictures. London and Maxwell have their theories of who the murderer is; they suspect Eli, who isn't reacting like a typical grieving husband and father, but they know they'll have problems finding evidence because the Amish Eli will have no digital footprint; and the community's sole telephone is a public one for emergencies, usable by anyone. They hope that the unofficial traditional Amish communication network, rampant gossip, will provide some clues. They find that some talk emerges in the form of a collection of women not in the community who were a part of Eli's secret life as the Amish Stud.
