How well do you think you know the person with whom you share your house and bed? Andreas and Stefan is an upper-middle class, gay couple that is most certainly ready to answer “pretty well.” Their happy and peaceful connubial bliss is completed by their cat Moses. However, one day, an unexpected violent incident casts a dark shadow over this domestic heaven. When the feeling of trust is gone in their relationship, they start drifting apart, and even fear each other. One should have nerves of steel watching this minimalist thriller, which would sit nicely next to films by Austrian masters like Haneke or Seidl.

Advisory warning: Suitable for adult audiences only.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
