Now playing

The Pevensie siblings return to Narnia only to discover things have changed since they ruled the magical kingdom. Now threatened by an evil king who seeks to destroy the surviving Narnians, the child monarchs are forced into action alongside a virtuous prince named Caspian, who seeks to regain the throne stolen by his uncle.
A sprawling drama from German director Fatih Akin that is so carefully constructed that if feels small. It concerns a Turkish immigrant in Germany who moves in with a prostitute, with tragic results. The immigrant’s son and the prostitute’s daughter continue the story, everyone moving from Germany to Turkey and back and just missing their connections: it’s a movie about coincidence and also about the way it can change and redeem us.
