It appears that Farrel was raised in a village nearby and has decided he wishes to return to see his mother (Nieves Cabrera). Unhappily, his mother suffers from Alzheimer's and is unable to remember her son, though his daughter, Analia (Giselle Irrazabal), can't remember him for a different reason - his prolonged absence. An inveterate loner, Farrel must face up to the fact that he has cut himself off from any form of human community and decide whether to stay the course or try to find another way of living.

Box set comprising four classic Cary Grant films as well as a documentary about his life and work made in 2004, 'Cary Grant: A Class Apart'. 'Night and Day' (1946) is a fictionalized biography of Cole Porter, made while the composer was still alive, starring Grant in the title role. The film begins in the 1910s when Porter is at Yale University, then follows him through the First World War, in which he works as an ambulance driver in France and marries a nurse from an aristocratic family (Alexis Smith). Director Michael Curtiz then focuses on Porter's glittering career through the 1940s, and the film contains performances of many of his most famous songs. It is now generally conceded that many of the facts on which the film is based are wildly inaccurate: Porter was in fact gay and married a divorcee friend for convenience, and his much-feted military experiences were a hoax. 'Destination Tokyo' (1943) is a suspenseful wartime drama about a US submarine, USS Copperfin, sent into Tokyo harbour under secret orders in the early days of the Second World War. Cary Grant plays the submarine's commander, whose mission is to get the submarine and its crew into the harbour undetected and send a landing party ashore in order to obtain vital information for the planned Doolittle air raid on Tokyo. 'North By Northwest' (1959) is a masterful mix of comedy and suspense from Alfred Hitchcock. Advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Grant) is lunching in a restaurant with his mother when he mistakenly answers a page for one George Kaplan. He soon finds himself on the run across the country, being pursued by enemies of the government who are convinced that he is a secret agent. He finds a friend in Eve Kendall (Eve Marie Saint), who helps conceal him during a perilous train journey, but soon discovers that she is not all she seems. 'Arsenic and Old Lace' (1944) is a macabre comedy about the elderly Brewster sisters, who poison lonely old men to put them out of their misery and bury them in their basement. When their nephew Mortimer (Grant) calls to announce his engagement, he discovers the grisly family secret. To complicate matters, his evil sibling Jonathan (Raymond Massey) has just escaped from jail, and arrives at the family home with murderous intentions of his own.
Religious drama about faith and family. Two fatherless young boys, Joshua (Brayden Whisenhunt) and Christopher (Xavier O'Neal), are brought up together by Christopher's mum, Lucille (Cynthia Cannon).

BBC drama based on the life of writer Christopher Isherwood (Matt Smith). Feeling suppressed by the restrictive society of 1930s England, Christopher moves to Germany so he can experience Berlin's gay subculture. He meets and falls in love with German street cleaner Heinz (Douglas Booth), but the outbreak of World War Two brings chaos into their lives, and soon Christopher has to fight to protect Heinz from the Nazis.
Guy Ritchie directs and co-writes this action comedy based on the 1960s TV series and starring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer. Set in 1963, the story follows two agents, Napoleon Solo (Cavill) of the CIA and Illya Kuryakin (Hammer) of the KGB, who, much to their chagrin, are made to join forces and work together on a mission to bring down a mysterious criminal organisation that is intent on multiplying the number of nuclear weapons. Will the pair succeed? The cast also includes Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, Jared Harris and Hugh Grant.
Blockbuster sci-fi thriller written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a professional thief with a difference: the spoils he goes after are not material objects but the thoughts, dreams and secrets buried in the minds of other people. This rare talent has cost him dear, rendering him a solitary fugitive stripped of everything he ever really cared about. When he is offered a chance for redemption by reversing the process and planting an idea rather than stealing it, he and his team of specialists find themselves pitted against a dangerous enemy that appears to pre-empt their every move. The film won four Academy Awards for its special effects, sound and cinematography.

Leopold and Loeb, two homosexual lovers who murdered a 14 year old boy in 1924, are the subject of Tom Kalin's atmospheric black-and-white study of the relationship between the two killers, their crime and subsequent trial.
