Genre: Drama
MPAA Rating: PG-13 (for some sexuality and brief strong language)

Plot Summary: Nazneen's life is turned upside down at the tender age of seventeen. Forced into an arranged marriage to an older man, she exchanges her Bangladeshi village home for a block of flats in London's East End. In this new world, pining for her home and her sister, she struggles to make sense of her existence - and to do her duty to her husband. A man of inflated ideas (and stomach), he sorely tests her compliance.
Told from birth that she must not fight her fate, Nazneen submits, devoting her life to raising her family and slapping down her demons of discontent. Until the day that Karim, a hot-headed local man, bursts into her life.
Against a background of escalating racial tension, they embark on an affair that finally forces Nazneen to take control of her life. Set in multicultural Britain, "Brick Lane" is a truly contemporary story of love, cultural difference, and ultimately, the strength of the human spirit.

Plot Summary: The sight of a dark-suited municipal employee doling out parking violations stirs a primal hate in all but the most enlightened souls.
And the heroine of our film, "Expired," the meter maid Claire (Morton), knows it.
The film revolves around Claire, a kind soul who resents having to enforce the law at all times, and Jay (Patric), an angry Traffic Officer who loves his job, it being the perfect outlet for his anger and frustrations.
Coming both from a place of despair and loneliness, Claire and Jay meet and engage in a tumultuous and twisted relationship, which will eventually teach them that love can spread magic seeds of redemption and hope, even in the most unlikely of souls.
By the end, Claire is faced with the question of whether to engage or to run.
