Trailer
Why watch this film?
What a powerful, mature, and disturbing movie 'Dronningen' is, the Danish production directed by May el-Toukhy. In the plot, with strong Freudian inspirations, we follow the relationship between Anne (Trine Dyrholm) and Gustav (Gustav Lindh). He is a young and somewhat immature boy. She is an older, mature woman and Gustav's stepmother. From there, we follow this forbidden relationship, behind the father and husband's back, unfolding in the family home. With a powerful performance by Dyrholm (from 'Nico, 1988' and 'The Commune'), the feature film brings up powerful questions about morality and the limits of relationships, while provoking and stimulating the viewer - including some explicit scenes. A strong, mature movie that doesn't leave the viewer unaffected.

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.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
