Pig

Rob (Nicolas Cage) lives an austere reclusive life in a cabin in the woods and hunts truffles for the fine dining market, relying on his truffle-hunting pig to find them.

He swaps the truffles for supplies with flash gastro-bro Amir (Alex Wolff) in a very one-sided arrangement but doesn't seem to mind being exploited.

One night people break into his cabin, knock him out and steal his pig. The following day Rob contacts Amir and demands to be driven into the city to get his pig back.

I Saw the TV Glow

Owen (Justice Smith/Ian Foreman) is an awkward child struggling with a tense situation at home: his mother is ill and father overbearing. Having seen and been intrigued by the trailer for a Buffy-like supernatural monster of the week TV show "The Pink Opaque" he's not allowed to watch it as it's on past his bedtime.

When he sees an older student Maddy (Jack Haven) reading an episode guide to "The Pink Opaque" he strikes up a conversation and she sneakily facilitates his interest by variously providing him with VHS tapes and occasionally letting him visit and watch it when he has lied about visiting a friend his own age.

Over the years the pair share their love of the show but don't otherwise socialise much. One day Maddy announces she is leaving and asks Owen to join her but in a moment of understandable youthful cowardice he doesn't.

Civil War

The USA is in a state of Civil War and everything points to a secessionist victory. Renowned War photographer Lee (Kirsten Dunst) and journalist/fixer Joe (Wagner Moura) plan to take a circuitous route to Washington DC avoiding most of the fighting and to _try_ to interview the President before the fall of the Capitol. This is considered a near suicidal endeavour by senior journalist Sammy (Stephen McKinley Henderson) but he nonetheless takes a spot on their truck.

While photographing a food riot Lee encounters a young woman, Jessie (Cailee Spaeny), who wants to be a journalist and is carrying around an old film camera.

Expecting never to see her again, the following morning Lee finds Jessie in the last seat in the truck: she has persuaded Joe to let her tag along.
