Synopsis: Progressive Dutch couple Martin and Margo had only one dream: to live off the land, far from the constraints and complications of the city. But when they arrive in the crumbling Spanish village of Santoalla, the foreigners challenge the traditions of the town's sole remaining family, igniting a decade-long conflict that culminates in Martin's mysterious disappearance. As this once forgotten landscape is thrust into the center of controversy, Margo finds herself searching not only for answers, but for the strength to persevere.

Synopsis: Inspired by actual events, the first story is a lyrical portrait of a young man with Asperger’s Syndrome who leaves home and journeys through NYC’s labyrinth-like subway system. The second story focuses intimately on the rare emotional connections we make and their importance. The story involves Gabriel, an older and lonely Ecuadorian livery car driver from Queens, and his random encounter with Sze Wun, a young Chinese mother who is stranded. While listening to a soccer match that Gabriel has bet “his life” upon, he offers Sze Wun a ride home to her sick child, setting the stage for the events that follow in which their bonds become revealed despite linguistic and cultural barriers. Along their journeys through the city, they each discover the deeper value of their intimate connections.
