"Lovers"
"Lovers" by Brian Friel consists of two parts. In "Lovers: Winners", the lovers are
a young couple preparing for their final school exams and their imminent wedding. The
girl is pregnant. Although they promise each other happiness, their deaths by drowning
save them from a more likely destiny. In "Lovers : Losers", the lovers are older than
in 'Winners', but their passion, at first, is no less real. It is their marriage that
brings its share of compromises and unhappiness.

"War"
"War" by Lars Norén deals with the story of a mother and her two teenage daughters,
who have been left to fend for themselves during a war. When the husband finally returns,
broken and blind after several years of soldiering, he is no longer the obvious Pater
Familias and the leader of the community. His brother, who remained at home during the
war, seems to have taken his place in more ways than one, and in the shadow of war, a
relationship drama takes place.
