'E Polish Quine

Synopsis:
1946. David Gordon returns from the war to his family's aberdeenshire farm, searching for the peace and simplicity of his childhood. He is haunted by the horrors he has witnessed. They return to him in his sleep and in the form of local antipathy towards a refugee Polish family who take the lease on a nearby farm. David establishes the beginnings of a relationship with anna, the daughter of the Polish family, trying to overcome the psychological damage the war has inflicted on them both. Poetic and moving, 'e Polish Quine explores the themes of war trauma, xenophobia and love.

Petrol Jesus Nightmare 5 (In The Time Of The Messiah)

Henry Adam
In the time of the Messiah, everything is permitted. The zealots are gathering, the city burns. The final war is coming - but no one told the men on the ground. Holed up in a ransacked building in the heart of occupied territory, two Israeli soldiers are caught under fire: Buddy and Slomo hold their ground, soldiers soldiering, keeping back the Caliphate the only way they know how. But the real danger emerges from behind their back when two wholly unexpected visitors take refuge: a Texan in a Stetson and the widow of a rabbi - fresh from a disastrous morning in Jerusalem, and chaperoned by the young captain Yossariat. Yossariat is having a bad day. a very, very bad day. Forced together, at the frontier between earth and heaven, the visitors' true motives become clear. . .Petrol Jesus Nightmare 5 (In the Time of the Messiah) is an apocalyptic vision of a new world order fuelled by faith, politics and dollars.
