Why watch this film?
Delicate and provocative Argentine drama, 'Un crimen común' is one of those productions that hide their essence in silences. Here, specifically, we meet the story of a woman who, one night, wakes up with noises at the door. It is the son of the maid asking for help. But she, scared, decides not to give shelter. The next day, he appears dead in a river. From then on, we enter this family and, above all, socio-economic drama. After all, more than talking about guilt, filmmaker Francisco Márquez ('Después de Sarmiento') exposes the differences between classes and, mainly, how divisions are becoming increasingly marked between people - also reminding some good recent Brazilian productions, such as 'Três Verões', 'Que Horas Ela Volta?' and even 'M8: When Death Helps Life'. It is not a movie that will please everyone, mostly because of the slow and silent plot. But those who know and like to embark on the reflections that the feature brings will be moved and find some good provocations.

Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
