The Road Uphill
Luxembourg. One of the world's smallest countries, a green and peaceful place bordered by Belgium, France, and Germany. The birthplace of two brothers, Andy and Fränk Schleck, two of the world's best professional cyclists. Following Team Leopard Trek and the Schleck Brothers, this film focuses upon the team's participation in the prestigious 2011 Tour de France. It is an intimate cinematic portrait of two brothers and a team under pressure to live up to the expectations of their country. « The Road Uphill » documents the relationships, motivations and belief systems integral to Leopard Trek -- core aspects of the team which are not usually exposed by television reportage. This documentary investigates the day-to-day life of a professional cycling team and the physical, mental and emotional thresholds that they need to surmount to win the greatest race on earth.

About Water
In About Water, documentary filmmaker Udo Maurer takes us to the outskirts of human civilization and the stories of the dealings with the "wet element". From inundated Bangladesh, where houses turn into boats, to the steppe of Kazakhstan, where fishing villages lie in the middle of the desert, and finally to the densely populated slums of Nairobi, where drinking water becomes a matter of life and death. (Original Title: Über Wasser)
Out Of Time
In Europe, small, traditional, Mom & Pop shops are vanishing at an alarming rate. The attitude 'cheaper is better' is becoming the rule and "big" often outshines or absorbs the "small" and local. OUT OF TIME is a documentary about four of the dying breed of small local shops: a butcher's, a drug store, leatherware shop and button shops. By the end of the film only one of these shops will have survived. Silently observed by the camera, the film unfolds as a portrayal of memories, relationships, working conditions, love, loneliness and the passing of time. (Harald Friedl) (Original Title: Aus Der Zeit)

Crime

Choucas is not a cop. But he was, once. Like many other ex-cops, Choucas is now a private dick, one whose connections with official police and knowledge of their various failings enables him to go about his investigations in an unorthodox and somewhat brutal matter... An old lady comes to see Choucas, sent by a policeman. Her daughter, a young woman who is blind, has disappeared. A routine matter, apparently. Yet hardly has Choucas begun to investigate that all hell breaks lose. Choucas gets hit on the head by an individual he has never seen in his life; receives a phone call from the old lady giving him a date at the station, where, before Choucas'eyes she is murdered. And there is more to come... He is now wanted for two murders and searched for by every cop in town, except those who have been manipulating from the start... He can't get out and he can't back down. Either he gets to the bottom of things or he's had it... (Original Title: Pour La Peau D'Un Flic)

The good news is they'll inherit a fortune if they marry. The bad news is they have 18 months to have a baby! The world's favorite odd couple - shrill, sentimental drag queen Albin (Michel Serrault) and his long-suffering mate Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) - are back in this outrageous French farce. In their latest romp, the boys' financially-troubled St. Tropez transvestite cabaret, La Cage, can be saved only if Albin rises to the conditions of a relative's bequest. The will stipulates he must marry and father a son - or else the vast estate will pass to his virile, greedy young cousin. There's inspired lunacy as flamboyant Albin contemplates a fate worse than death - will he be condemned to abandon his ladylike ways once and for all?

The Secret of the Grain
The Secret of the Grain is a touching and resoundingly humanistic story set in the rustic port of Sete in southeastern France. Slimane has worked in the same shipyard job for over 35 years, when his growing dissatisfaction prompts him to try to open his own restaurant. His dream seems unbelievable, but his contagious conviction and persistence work their way into the hearts of his loyal but dispersed family; the four children from his first marriage, his ex-wife, current girlfriend and her bright, outspoken daughter, Rym (played to great acclaim by the stunning newcomer Hafsia Herzi). A grand film about ordinary people, The Secret of the Grain is a deliciously slow-burning indie drama about fate, food and family.
