A small-town man gains miraculous healing powers after surviving a deadly fall, and experiences a deep crisis of conscience in this fantasy drama from writer/producer/director/star Marcus Dean Fuller. Visit the town of One Fall in the American Midwest, and chances are, the first thing to catch your eye will be the majestic 200-foot-high cliff that draws tourists from miles around. That local landmark becomes the scene of a particularly incredible occurrence when a local man stumbles over the edge -- and lives to tell the tale. Shortly after the incident, however, the stunned survivor realizes he now possesses the power to heal, and vanishes without a trace. Later, after coming to terms with his incredible new ability, the man returns home and begins charging locals a handsome fee to make them healthy again. Subsequently abandoned by his friends and family due to his short-sighted greed, the confused healer begins looking inward for answers. Only then does he realize he was bestowed these incredible powers for a very specific reason. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The debut feature from writer/director Lisa Krueger stars Scarlett Johansson and Aleksa Palladino as the titular Manny and Lo, orphaned teenaged sisters who avoid foster homes by living on the run, stealing food, and sleeping in random model homes. Older sister Lo is the rude, bossy, incompetent leader, and younger sister Manny is her thoughtful, realistic, logical underling. It quickly becomes apparent that Lo is pregnant and they won't be able to continue their wandering lifestyle of "keep moving and you won't get nailed." After a significant stage of denial, Lo goes to a hospital for an abortion and is denied. Quickly running out of options, Lo comes up with plan that seems ridiculous to the observant narrator Manny. Since they don't know anything about birthing babies, they kidnap Elaine (Mary Kay Place), a middle-aged woman dressed as a nurse who works in a maternity store. Together, the three women squat in an abandoned house in the woods so the disgruntled Lo can have her baby. Eventually, the owner of the house comes home and the captive Elaine resorts to a strange solution to the problem. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi
