| The loyal, committed and very decent Elvis leaves Johannesburg to pick up his best friend and best man Tumi in Durban. The two will then journey on to Cape Town to begin rehearsals for Elvis’s wedding to the beautiful Ayanda - except that things do always go according to plan. An appealing, feel-good movie about love, commitment, intimacy and friendship and the host of maddening obstacles that can get in the way of a happy ending. |

After almost fifty years of marriage, the Countess Sofya, Leo Tolstoy's devoted wife is outraged when she discovers that Chertkov-Tolstoy's trusted disciple-has secretly convinced her husband to sign a new will. Using every bit of cunning, Sofya fights fiercely for what she believes is hers. Tolstoy's new assistant, the young, gullible Valentin becomes a pawn, first of the scheming Chertkov and then of the wounded and vengeful Sofya. To complicate Valentin's life even further, he falls in love with the beautiful, free-spirited Masha, whose unconventional attitudes about sex and love both compel and confuse him. A tale of two romances, one beginning, one near its end, The Last Station is a complex, funny, rich and emotional story about the difficulty of living with love and the impossibility of living without it.
