Outrage

Voluntarily imprisoned in a love nourished by dependency and jealousy, the Finnish tango singer Helena sees suddenly the possibility to show her destiny a new way to take. After several briefings with her best friend Aino, which just can’t spare her for the details of her almost sportive meetings with her lovers, Helena sees a long absence of her husband as a new room for living out desires she never knew before. But her destiny will offer her something else than the satisfaction of these new longings.

Faust. The Tragedy: Part One

Heinrich Faust is looking back at the achievements in his life and comes to a depressing conclusion: As an actor he lacks deeper insight into the human soul and success in his career, and as a human being he is unable to savour life. He also has no friends and no family. In this desperate position he promises his soul to Mephistopheles, if he will be able to make him contented and to be freed from his disaffection. Mephistopheles takes Faust on a trip, entertains him with banal distractions, and involves him in the tragic amour with the young Margarete. This film offers a completely new look on Goethe's classic play. Slow and surprisingly surreal.
