When Suzanne is little, her mother makes it clear that she doesn’t have a father and is conceived in a test tube. Eventually, in an emotional talk with her grandfather, the old man unravels bit by bit the truth about the identity of Suzanne’s father. Suzanne is so angry with her mother that she leaves the house after a huge row, embarking on a journey to find her father. Things do not turn out as expected.

THE ART POLICE Directed by Jonah Zeiger and Kimberly Harwood (USA/2015/11:42)
Harry Scribner is a frustrated writer who finds himself caught between fictional worlds of his own making. While trying to write his action hero characters out of a maze-like complex, he is suddenly arrested by two detectives who confiscate his writings and charge him with fraud. As the line between fiction and reality becomes harder to discern, Harry’s characters become his only guide through the dangerous territory of the imagination.
