Between massages and kitchen chaos, a story full of humour, friction and emotion unfolds – told with lots of improvisation, lively camera work and a large dose of authenticity. ‘Love Steaks’ is an idiosyncratic mix of drama and comedy that breaks with conventional romantic film clichés and instead focuses on raw emotions and honest characters.

A relentless military thriller about abuse of power, loyalty and the fight against a deadly system from within.

In the film with the original title ‘The Bad Nun 3’, the horror returns – and it’s darker than ever. The terror that a mysterious order of nuns once brought upon a small village still echoes today. When a young woman from a bereavement support group suddenly and inexplicably dies, three friends decide to get to the bottom of it.

But there is more between them than just grief: Emilie is burdened by a long-suppressed secret that has kept her at a distance all these years. Over time, her emotional wall begins to crumble – and she has to face a truth she can hardly admit to herself: her feelings for Jakob go beyond the bounds of sibling affection. In the secluded, almost surreal silence of the Alpine mountains, a forbidden closeness grows.
