Cardigans singer Nina Persson makes her screen debut opposite director/co-scripter/star Amir Chamdin in an achingly romantic tale of two would-be lovers longing to connect during a sweltering Stockholm summer. The tear is 1975, and immigrant worker Juan (Chamdin) works around the clock while anxiously awaiting the arrival of his wife. Upon meeting at the restaurant that the hard-working immigrant cleans by night, Amir and pretty local Juli (Persson) take an immediate liking to one another. Over the course of the following week, the smitten pair spends every available moment together. As the day Amir's wife is set to arrive draws near, Amir and Juli ponder just what will become of their powerful yet fragile bond. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A former drug-addict in her early thirties attempts to put her shady past to rest while paving the way for a brighter future in director Rowan Woods' tale of love, trust, and redemption in modern-day Australia. Tracy Heart (Cate Blanchett) hasn't lived her 32 years so much as she has simply survived them. Ravaged by the drug-addiction and determined to redeem herself in the eyes of her overworked single-mother Janelle (Noni Hazelhurst), Tracy makes a personal vow to open her own business and turn her life around before it's too late and life has passed her by. Tracy's plan is complicated, however, when three men from her past reappear with their own plans for the future. In addition to the troubling re-appearance of her ex-boyfriend Jonny (Dustin Nguyen), her criminal-minded brother Ray (Martin Henderson) seems hell-bent on making a name for himself in the underworld, and the emotional demands of troubled family friend and ex-football star Lionel Dawson (Hugo Weaving) have left the emotionally vulnerable Tracy shaken and confused. When Tracy's modest dreams of a happy life catch the attention of feared criminal kingpin Bradley "The Jockey" Thompson (Sam Neill), she is forced to place her fragile trust in the hands of her skeptical mother and take one last trip into the past to confront her greatest fear.
