After a series of failures in love and life, a social misfit returns to his family’s farm near Cambridge, where he discovers an unexpected and bewitching affinity with cows.
Veteran Kiwi filmmaker Costa Botes’ latest feature follows the daily routines of herdsman Andrew Johnstone, who lives on his parents farm, looking after a large group of beef cattle.
He is thoughtful, highly articulate and well-informed, and in the course of his varied life has played many roles, from poet, journalist, and radio broadcaster, to farmer, fencer and rock star.
In this delightful and thought-provoking documentary, we discover the life of a man who has suffered tragedy and disappointments, but has ultimately found his way to healing and contentment, giving us all pause for thought and providing some rollicking good yarns along the way.

In GOOD LUCK TO YOU, LEO GRANDE, two-time Academy Award winner Emma Thompson (Love, Actually) embodies the candor and apprehension of retired teacher Nancy Stokes, and newcomer Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders) personifies the charisma and compassion of sex worker Leo Grande. As Nancy embarks on a post-marital sexual awakening and Leo draws on his skills and charm, together they find a surprising human connection.
After three long decades of unsatisfying marital relations with the same man, widowed former RE teacher Nancy Stokes plucks up the courage to step out of her comfort zone. And not knowing what to expect, uptight Nancy decides to explore her dormant sexuality by paying for a discreet sexual experience with charming, courteous, soft-spoken young escort Leo Grande. As the polite and tolerant professional tries to figure out what Nancy needs to hear and do, the conflicted schoolteacher finds herself grappling with unprecedented emotions and thoughts about her body and unspoken desires. But after all these years, can Nancy take control of her sex life and receive the longed-for pleasure she deserves?

Movie- Munch: Love, Ghosts and Lady Vampires
There is no painter in the world both more famous and less known than Edvard Munch. The debt contemporary culture has towards Munch is impressive, from Andy Warhol to Ingmar Bergman, from Marina Abramovich to Jasper Johnes.
Munch: Love, Ghosts and Lady Vampires sounds like a grim and potentially ghastly way to spend 90 minutes. And yet, this is an enjoyable film, celebrating a man who wrestled a lot of joy, romance and beauty out of the morass of poverty, madness and those endless winters he had been born into.

If Munch’s painting has become a symbol and at the same time an omen of the tragedies of the twentieth century, his art has travelled new and experimental roads of extraordinary modernity. Today, however, it is his city, Oslo, which sets a turning point for the knowledge of Munch: the birth of a new museum. This documentary will start from there to shed light on a man and an artist with singular charm, a precursor and a master.
