CONTENT WARNING:

Archer is the captain of a gay football team, Platoon F.C. He wants a chance for his team to break the boundaries and win the game. But already things are not going as planned. Not only have his rebellious team brought along a posse of flamboyant supporters but his well-meaning but clueless boyfriend has designed a neon pink team strip... size Xtra small. On the other team, Captain Adam of Reaper’s is trying to convince his team of ex-convict, addict, Beckham-wannabe, and loose canons to play a clean game – or this will be their last game.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

Another film in our Spotlight on Films from the UK series. What happens when the hardest team in the Sunday Soccer league comes up against a gay team (pun intended) and finds they've finally met their match? Watch and wince as fledging referee Elton Glixton struggles to control this testosterone tsunami as rude-boy meets bum-boy in this outrageous new comedy set in the crazy gung-ho world of 5-a-side footie.

In Mary Lou, Eytan Fox (The Bubble, Walk on Water, Yossi & Jagger) brings to life a modern fable with a catchy musical message and a story based on the songs of Israeli pop legend Svika Pick. One could think of this film as the Israeli Glee but it is oh so much more than that. Part Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, part Mamma Mia, Mary Lou is a heartfelt story that rises about its sugar coating to tell a story of love, life and being true to yourself…all set to music!

In Mary Lou, Eytan Fox (The Bubble, Walk on Water, Yossi & Jagger) brings to life a modern fable with a catchy musical message and a story based on the songs of Israeli pop legend Svika Pick.

When it’s cold – breathe. It’s November and 26-year-old Lukas is not so much living as floating. His dream of making it as a musician is on the wane and his great passion – rap – has also past its heyday. Lukas lives with his producer, 46-year-old Mischa, in an old loft where they cultivate cannabis. They have been having a turbulent affair for years – but this is a closely guarded secret.

His dream of making it as a musician is on the wane and his great passion – rap – has also past its heyday. Lukas lives with his producer, 46-year-old Mischa, in an old loft where they cultivate cannabis. They have been having a turbulent affair for years – but this is a closely guarded secret. Lukas has grown cold inside and only really feels himself in moments of excess. Drunk and coked up to the eyeballs he toils his way through a gig in a small club.
