Directed by Ari Taub as a companion piece to his earlier WWII feature The Fallen, Last Letters from Monte Rosa re-examines the Second World War from the perspective of an ill-fated German Army platoon waiting out their final days in Northern Italy.

In a nameless, affluent city, Sam, a bisexual hustler with a dawning conscience, begins to suspect there must be a better life somewhere. His 17-year-old girlfriend Arizona knows there is, but she needs money so the two of them can run away and find it. Shane, 14, may or may not have killed his parents and now amounts to fresh meat on the streets for the ever-prowling child molesters when he hooks up with Sam and Arizona. Will Shane provide a means of escape or their undoing?

A single-camera ensemble comedy following the lives of an eclectic group of detectives in a New York precinct, including one slacker who is forced to shape up when he gets a new boss.
