Time and Water (Iceland)

In this English-language documentary film, the renowned Icelandic poet and author, Andri Snær Magnason, is chasing something elusive. As the glacial ice of his homeland melts, he constructs a cinematic time capsule to hold onto this moment and send it to the future, before everything he loves slips away. Using his own collected archives, his grandparents’ photographs and films, and traditional songs and folktales, Andri interlaces his family’s story with that of the land around him.

Inside The Trustor Scandal (Trustorhärvan) (Sweden)

This true-crime documentary centers on the Trustor Scandal, one of Sweden’s biggest financial crimes. In the spring of 1997, five people bought the investment company Trustor. On paper, everything appeared to be in order, but the scam was exposed three months later, although it still remains shrouded in mystery. No one really knows what went down, who did what, or how the lives of those involved were affected by the conflicts that continued long after the crime was committed. What is known is that the mastermind behind the coup, Joachim Posener, disappeared without a trace and has managed to stay hidden from both Interpol and the Swedish police for thirty years… until documentary film director Karin af Klintberg found him.

Desperate to belong, he relentlessly tells jokes and performs sketches, just to get in with the popular kids. Decades later, Juha (Johan Rheborg, Agatha Christie’s Hjerson, The Glass Dome) has channeled his bittersweet childhood into a successful stand-up career and is touring in a hit show. But the comedy spin on his story isn’t reality, so when an unexpected visitor shows up, it forces him to face the truth behind the punchlines.

My Life as a Comedian premieres in the US on Thursday, August 6, exclusively on Viaplay on Prime Video and other Viaplay partner channels.

Fraternity (El aspirante) (Spain)

This psychological drama explores what people are willing to endure in exchange for belonging. The story follows Carlos (Lucas Nabor, Rotten Legacy) and Dani (Jorge Motos, Our Only Chance), university freshmen who are eager to begin a new chapter in their lives. Like many of their fellow students, they hope to find friends, build connections, and secure a place within the social world that surrounds them.

What appears to be an exciting introduction to campus life quickly becomes something far more intense when they choose to participate in a traditional initiation process designed to welcome new residents into the community. At first, the experience seems like little more than a series of challenges, games, and tests meant to strengthen bonds between students. Yet as the hours pass, the atmosphere begins to shift. The playful energy gives way to growing tension, and the line between tradition and abuse becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. What starts as an attempt to fit in gradually evolves into a powerful examination of group pressure, authority, and the dangerous desire to be accepted at any cost.

Fraternity has its US linear debut on Saturday, August 29, at 9pm ET, on Eurochannel. (Folks who don’t have access to Eurochannel can stream the movie.)

While partying, she crosses paths with Arthur (Egbert Jan Weeber, Commandos), a magnetic stranger in whom Elisabeth finds a deep and abiding connection. What begins as a fleeting encounter quickly deepens into something far more intense…
