At a family-run restaurant in Ilocano, Jorge, a privileged young man, is forced to work alongside Kiko, a street-smart newcomer hired by Jorge’s grandfather, Tino, a retired sakada. When Tino suddenly dies, the two discover a hidden cigar box filled with unsent letters and photographs that reveal a decades-old love story between Tino and his best friend, Bong — a bond shaped by migration, forgetting, and sacrifice. As Jorge and Kiko piece together this lost history, their own relationship begins to shift. Set across generations and rooted in Ilokano culture, the series is a quiet exploration of class, intimacy, and the legacies we inherit — and choose to carry forward.
A polar bear is forced to navigate a human world of tourists, wildlife officers, and hunters as its ancient migration collides with modern life. When a sacred predator is branded a nuisance, it becomes unclear who truly belongs in this shared landscape.

Renowned Icelandic poet and author Andri Snær Magnason is chasing something elusive. As the glacial ice of his homeland melts, he constructs a cinematic time capsule to hold onto this moment and send it to the future, before everything he loves slips away. Using his own collected archives, his grandparents’ photographs, and films, as well as traditional songs and folktales, Andri interlaces his family’s story with that of the land around him. From Academy Award®-nominated director Sara Dosa, TIME AND WATER is a universal reflection on the power of home and what it means to be alive amid profound epochal change.
High school students, Riku Sakahira and Manami Mizumura, accidentally fall into a pool together, and in that moment, their mind and body switch. They try everything they can to solve the problem, praying that this is a mistake, but in vain. Now, 15 years have passed, and during that period, they experience first love, first job, marriage, childbirth, loss of their loved ones – basically life itself without being able to share their secret to anyone else but each other. But on the year that they turn 30, Manami tells Riku that she may have discovered the way to switch back.

In Tuner, Academy Award-winning director Daniel Roher’s first narrative feature, Leo Woodall stars as a gifted young piano tuner whose heightened sense of hearing draws the attention of criminals, who see his talents as useful for opening safes as well as for tuning Steinways.

Niki’s safecracking work threatens his budding romance with Ruthie and pulls him into increasingly dangerous territory. Blending romance, drama, and the taut suspense of a heist thriller, Tuner also features performances from Tony Award-winner Tovah Feldshuh, Lior Raz, and Jean Reno.
