From Tunisia comes Anonymes (Buried Secrets), from filmmaker Raja Amari. The entire film takes place in a mansion, and centers on 3 women living in what they believe to be an empty house; they're squatters. Their lives are considerably disrupted when a young couple moves into the house - a couple that initially isn't at all aware that there are squatters present with them. So what we have here is a peculiar coexistence that develops within the walls of the house, because the women don't want to reveal themselves to their unwanted new house-mates, and they have no intention of leaving either. And so begins the dance as they try to continue living out their lives in this house, while...

Spoiler alert! If you haven’t watched Suits’ return, “Buried Secrets,” stop reading now. Creator Aaron Korsh talked to EW about the twists and what’s next.
Entertainment Weekly: Let’s start with Jessica asking Scottie, who’s now in a relationship with Harvey and joining the firm, to pay her six-figure buy-in upfront instead of after the typical trial period.
Aaron Korsh: We wanted to shine a light on the fact that the name of the firm had changed quite a bit: It went from Pearson Hardman, to Pearson, to Pearson Darby, to Pearson Darby Specter, to Pearson Specter.

"Suits" is back!
The midseason premiere of the legal drama is as good as ever in "Buried Secrets," with witty dialogue, legal maneuvering and dangerous secrets. Will Louis find out Mike's secret? Can either Mike's or Harvey's relationships survive? Is Michael Phelps going to stick with Pearson Specter?
Harvey is better at manipulation than romance
Not that Harvey practices much law in "Buried Secrets." He is far too busy having sex with Scottie and trying to negotiate/manipulate her contract. With the British merger dead, Scottie needs a job. And Harvey wants a girlfriend.
The two might go together, but Jessica is wary of Harvey actually sticking with one woman. She agrees to hire Scottie as a partner -- on the condition that she buy-in to the firm immediately instead of six months later.
Harvey works multiple angles to have this requirement lifted -- he even gets Scottie to land...

We’re a little light on quantity at What to Watch this week but not on quality. And our newest contributor, Dave Canfield, has already handled today’s release of “All is Lost,” a film you really should add to whatever queue allows you to see quality films.

Netflix landed a lot of press for the way they stormed the gates of the TV industry in 2013 but I think the story of The Sundance Channel’s evolution into a major player was under-reported. Jane Campion’s “The Top of the Lake” and the brilliant “Rectify” would have been enough but this import of a French series was actually their best program, and one of the best on TV overall.

Kate Johnson was a senior at the University of Portland, but she never made it to graduation. "Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets" told the story of her murder at college. She was assaulted and killed in her own dorm room. According to Oregon Live, she had moved into the dorm only two weeks prior to work as a residence hall monitor.
With leads dwindling, police reached out to a wide circle of people who knew Johnson for DNA samples, and Deniz Aydiner was one of those who willingly participated. His DNA was a match to samples found at the crime scene and on Johnson's wrists. By then, Aydiner was back in his native Turkey.
According to court documents, he wanted to return to the country to be with his wife, so authorities made sure everything was in order. Then, they met and arrested him at the airport.

Jealousy proved the motivator behind the shocking death of Robert Taylor on "Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets." But as tragic as his death was to his family, they were stunned anew when the identity of his killer was finally revealed.
Danny Tindle was Taylor's best friend, but Tindle had a secret. He had strong feelings for Taylor's girlfriend, Cindy White. Those feelings got the best of him one day, and so he decided to get Taylor out of his way, shooting and killing him on his way to work.
Tindle kept his deed a secret for years, and stayed close to Taylor's family. He even took them to the site of the shooting, saying it would comfort the family. Finally, he admitted to Cindy what he'd done.
According to The Lakeland Ledger in 1998, Tindle told White he'd killed Taylor because Taylor had made threats that he was going to burn down both White's and Tindle's homes,...

25-year old Rochelle Anderson was the victim of senseless violence, leaving her young daughter without a mother. Her story was told on the latest installment of "Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets."
Anderson's life was tragically cut short at the gas station where she worked nights. A young man came in, apparently simply looking to rob the place, and wound up beating her to death and stabbing her. Derek Domke was 18-years old at the time of the killing and reportedly using drugs. In 2009, he was sentenced to life in prison.
A local station reported at the time that the Anderson family had won a wrongful death lawsuit against him, carried out on behalf of Rochelle's daughter, in the amount of 1.8 million dollars. Their lawyer, though, seemed to believe "the odds are “slim to none” that Domke will ever pay the judgment."

47-year old Lula Young was already battling cancer, but it was a fire in her home that took her life. Her story was revealed on "Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets" (Mon., 10 p.m. Et on ID). When investigators looked into it, they realized the fire had been set on purpose. But who would want to kill her?
Eventually, the trail led back to one of the most unlikeliest of culprits. It turns out Lula's best friend Linda Leedom was the beneficiary of Lula's life insurance policies. If Lula died from the cancer, or anything else natural, Linda would get nothing. But if it was an accident, she'd collect $1 million. So she hired a man to kill Lula.
"I felt the ultimate betrayal," Lula's daughter said. "My mother trusted Linda Leedum, with her life, and that’s what it cost her."
Linda was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of her best friend.
