“Why watch a video of Gordon Ramsay cooking when you can learn directly from the man himself? That's the journey this young woman takes as she is whisked between Ramsay's pasta-pulling class, a city cruise with Alicia Keys and tennis taught by none other than Serena Williams! She has no need to be intimidated by crossing paths with Anna Wintour in the elevator, or by the plethora of performing arts personages in her audience, as long as she follows Dame Helen Mirren's advice to "own who you are." MasterClass then puts the ball in your court, prompting learners everywhere to express themselves and pursue their passions with its catalogue of online courses”
with Gordon Ramsay, Lewis Hamilton, Alicia Keys, Anna Wintour, Helen Mirren, Simone Biles, Ru Paul, Ringo Starr, Ron Howard, Issa Rae, Martin Scorsese & Serena Williams

A one-hit wonder Ivan Dorn in the deep state of a creative crisis is signed to a rehab program at the highly protected, isolated Sanatorium that promises a lifetime warranty for endless inspiration. A bourgeois setting with welcoming stuff slowly creeps into a violent cult that tortures artists in the name of inspiration, where Ivans greatest hit becomes his darkest nightmare.

[ UNUM ] (lat."one") discovers the singularity of life. Beginning with a carnal prologue between man and woman, the figurative journey continues with a lone huntsman at a cave. Accompanied by his loyal dog the huntsman delivers delicate honey to a shady merchant - as a single drop of the sweet nectar releases the furies of fate.
