It's been five years Martin's family vanished without a trace from a cruise ship. Ever since, the police psychologist is tortured by the thought of his wife having committed a murder-suicide, taking their son with her. He is the only one not willing to believe this. Suddenly, a new lead takes him back aboard the very same luxury cruiser, where once again, a mother and her child have vanished. But this time, the girl reappears - holding a teddy bear that used to belong to Martin's son. Martin soon learns that things are handled differently on the open sea. Not to disturb his passengers' enjoyment of the lavish luxuries of their cruise, the rich owner of the cruiser wants to keep the child out of sight and hides her deep under deck in the quarantine bay. Here, Martin tries to get the traumatized girl to talk to him. But even deeper in the dark underbelly of the ship there is something lurking. And all signs point to a serial killer, just waiting to strike again. close

Blue Note, the most successful movie ever made about jazz, is a testimony to the passion and vision of these two men and certainly swings like the propulsive sounds that made their label so famous. close

On June 6, 1944, the largest military invasion (and opposition to it) the world has ever seen began. D-Day tells the epic story of the preparation and implementation of the Allied landings in Normandy. It is the story of the defense of the Western Front by the German Army and the complex deadly secret war of the men and women of France and continental Europe.
The film brings to life dramatic and outstanding examples of courage and sacrifice, joy and despair, love and betrayal. Planning for the June 6 invasion took two years and cost thousands of lives. It involved deception of marvelous courage. Both the preparation and the events and actions of the day itself relied on the free choice of the many, and the nerves of some. D-Day explores an intricate mosaic on both sides - imagining events through the eyes of the men and women who were there and telling us their standout stories. close
