Jen will be 15 this year.  Since the death of her father, she lives alone with her young mother, Sarah, in Covina, a small town in North America.  One day, Ian, the half-brother of Jen's father, turns up and offers to give the two women a helping hand.  Jen becomes fascinated by the newcomer, whose presence gradually drives the mother and her daughter apart.  One eventful night, Jen runs away with Ian and the two seek refuge in the inhospitable forests of the north.  So begins a pitiless manhunt, and Jen will never be the same again...

The best of Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
The very best of German cinema
sb-img-25
German cinema was at its most inspired in the 1920s, strongly influenced by the expressionist movement, but it enjoyed a renaissance in the 1970s.
The best of Japanese cinema
sb-img-21
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
The very best sci-fi movies
sb-img-19
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
The very best of Italian cinema
sb-img-23
Fellini, Visconti, Antonioni, De Sica, Pasolini... who can resist the intoxicating charm of Italian cinema?
