After an accident, estranged brothers Jack (Jason Schwartzman), Peter (Adrien Brody) and Francis (Owen Wilson), join up to travel by train through India on a quasi-spiritual quest - but Francis' hidden goal is to find their long-absent mother, Patricia (Angelica Huston). All three brothers are emotional wrecks, totally oblivious to their surroundings. But when Patricia again disappears they are ready to discover the truth of their lives.

EL BANO DEL PAPA (THE POPE
It’s 1988 and Pope John Paul II is to visit Melo, a small Uruguayan town on the Brazilian border, on his Latin American tour. Belo (Cesar Troncoso) is a small-time smuggler who bicycles 60 kilometers a day, much of it over countryside, to avoid a customs post. When he hears of other townspeople cooking cakes and chorizo sausages to feed the thousands of Brazilians who will visit Melo to see the Pope, he has an idea – he will provide them with a public toilet but how to pay for it? Life, of course, doesn't always turn out the way it was planned and the townspeople of Melo are left with little spiritual uplift – and a whole lot poorer.

BATTLE FOR HADITHA
This is a fictionalised account of notorious real-life events in the Iraq war in November 2005, when US Marines massacred a group of Iraqi civilians, told in searing and immediate documentary style. Drawn quickly into the evolving action, we cut back and forth between three groups: the Marine platoon led by Corporal Ramirez (Elliot Ruiz, himself a war veteran, as are several of the other actors), the Haditha family who will become victims in their own home, and two insurgents planning the attack on the marines that will lead in turn to the revenge killings.
