Mehndi
Gone are the days (and the movies) when the Indian daughter-in-law stood by silently and got abused and slapped around by her mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, et al. Here, the daughter-in-law has not only her cruel and intimidating mom-in-law, but also her equally cruel, sister-in-law by the hair, and some may say, well under her thumb. A glaring and perhaps a light-hearted look at the evil of dowry, and lack of which still does result in cruelties being inflicted even on well educated and cultured women in modern yet secular and tradition-bond India.

The Sergeant
THE SERGEANT is the story of the dark inner struggle of Master Sergeant Albert Callan to overcome the overwhelming attraction he feels for one of his charges. In the staid and stifling environment of a post-World War II army post in France, Callan's deeply repressed attraction to other men surfaces when he encounters handsome Private Swanson. Maintaining the rugged "man's man" image of a war hero, Callan barks orders to his underlings. Later, lonely in his solitude, he recalls the frightening experiences of war and the events that led to this crossroads. Filled with self-loathing and unable to act on the natural attraction he feels for Swanson, Callan's affection festers into antagonism. He pushes Swanson constantly with verbal assaults and undeserved punishments. Oblivious to Callan's attraction to him, Swanson comes finally to feel enmity for his Master Sergeant.

The Trip to Greece
Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are commissioned for the fourth time in ten years by the Observer to write an article on a week long culinary journey, this time through Greece. The brief is to make the historical journey, albeit truncated in it being a point A to B land trek, of Odysseus from Troy to Ithaca, meaning that they will actually start their trip in Turkey. Regardless of the seriousness or lightheartedness of their dining and road trip conversation topics, those conversations will generally degenerate into a competition of celebrity impersonations, this time necessarily including Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy seeing as to Steve's recent turn as Laurel in Stan & Ollie (2018). Stemming from his calls home and an encounter with a professional colleague who he ultimately has to admit he doesn't remember, Steve will find that his trip has elements of a Greek tragedy which leads to thoughts of his own mortality.
