Chicken And Mushroom Pie

Synopsis:
Ian - rough diamond, hopeless burglar and feckless fast-foodie - stumbles into the underbelly of London, in this high-speed caper with a cutting edge. Bizarre encounters with the grotesque and the merely hapless leave our hero reeling, but he still finds time for a chicken and mushroom pie. . .

Isle of the Departed

Synopsis:
The last days of Hitler are played out before the questioning eyes of Primo Levi, an Italian writer and Auschwitz survivor. Hitler's bunker is a hellhole of madness and betrayal. What does a tyrant do? Try to plan a way forward, or simply marry his girlfriend and decide which way to die? As a witness to the final death throes of the 3rd Reich, Levi attempts to understand the personality who dreamt up the holocaust.

Spencer is a client, Jessica his caseworker. However, this is still a block of flats and many other ordinary people still live there. How do they deal with these strange comings and goings?
