Faith Mason is the art teacher at Ponchatoula Junior High. She loves to give her students creative expressive outlets at a stage in their lives when doing so verbally or in writing is often difficult. Her childhood belief in the magic of Christmas wishes--such as the wish box that is annually placed next to the decorated Christmas tree in the middle of town--resurfaces when she learns on the last day before Christmas break that arts funding has been totally cut, meaning her job. With her best friend, school nurse Wyatt, at her side, Faith must find some creative way to save her job. Meanwhile, Faith's younger sister Maddie is back for the holidays with her boyfriend Ryan, whom she suspects will propose to her on this trip; with Faith's knowledge, she submits a wish that Faith will get a true-love kiss. Miraculously, men start showing themselves as potential true-love interests for Faith. Faith hopes that Andrew, the handsome man she always sees at the local coffee show, will be The One. But in her focus on Andrew, Faith might be blind to the true love that has been right in front of her. Meanwhile, her mother Joyce is again on the committee that actually works to grant a wish-box wish. The wish chosen--by young Michael Mills to be able see a live performance of A Christmas Carol with his grandfather Louis--might be more difficult to grant than appears on the surface.

Christoph Pehofer took a nine-month journey through North America and Asia. Staying in hostels was a rare alternative. What he did instead was sleeping in complete strangers' living rooms - Couchsurfing is the concept behind this. The world seems to separate people more than connecting them. A private couch shows a place of approach and strangers becoming friends. Therefore, the main focus of the film is on the people which participate in Couchsurfing and their great diversity. His hosts couldn't have been more different from one another: from a 21-year-old student in a student dorm, to a family in which three generations take part in Couchsurfing, to a nudist in Manhattan and a transgender in Bangkok.

Dr. Harper Higgins is an Adjunct Professor of Art History at the Cambridge Institute of Fine Arts. To make ends meet, she also teaches an adult painting class at the Arts Collective. She once aspired to the life of a painter herself, that is until her last show a year ago resulted in a scathing review by an esteemed art critic named Rick, who also happened to be her boyfriend at the time, that review which led to them breaking up and she putting down her paint brush for good. Although she never aspired to the life of an academic, she, as appointed curator, has managed to secure a famous artist for the Institute's upcoming Art Exhibition, it being a success which she hopes will lead to a promotion to a full time position. When that artist backs out, Harper scrambles to find a replacement. Who she hopes will be approved is the man she literally stumbled onto who became her dog walker, Tom Becker, his artwork which she truly admires. Untrained Tom only began to paint as therapy when he was in the VA Hospital (dog walking which was also therapy), he now not ever believing he could stop painting, but it being something he only does for himself. Regardless, partly in his attraction to Harper but mainly to pay the repair bills on his crumbling houseboat, he agrees to put his artwork forward for the Exhibition. In the process, Harper ends up telling two lies to her boss, Dr. Martin, to convince him to display Tom's work at the Exhibition, the bigger of the two lies, stemming from an anecdote told to her by Tom, which ends up being the focus of Tom showing at the Exhibition: that he is the great-great-grandson of Vincent van Gogh (the truth being that his great-great-grandmother grew up in the same town in Holland as Van Gogh and may have had a relationship with him). As it gets closer and closer to the Exhibition, Harper and Tom begin to fall for each other, and what is shown of Tom's artwork in preparation does catch the eye of some influential people in the art world. But the lie being discovered would not only ruin Harper's academic career and possibly ruin the reputation of the Institute, but could threaten her and Tom's relationship in the pressure of maintaining the lie, perhaps unless Tom's work truly can stand on its own merit.

This is a documentary film that covers the lives, careers and contrasting personalities of British heavyweight boxer Frank Bruno and the American Mike Tyson.

Tyson was an fast vicious animal in the ring whilst Bruno lacked the speed but was a destroyer who could finish a fight with a single punch - their personalities outside the ring were just as contrasting as their boxing styles. This documentary plots the rise and fall of both fighters in both their boxing and personal lives and culminates with the two meeting up for the first time in decades to reflect on their entwined boxing journeys and reflect on their lives and careers.
