Why watch this film?
Presented during the French Film Tour 2019 and directed by the French filmmaker Lisa Azuelos ('Lol@', 'One Meeting'), 'My Girl' is a dramedy whose heart lies in the everyday moments of life as a divorced woman and mother in today's era: interactions between friends, rediscovering romantic life (through Tinder, no less), as well as the chaos and nostalgia of raising children, seeing them grow up and facing the "empty nest" when they leave home. Even if the movie is sometimes too romantic, the chemistry between the young actress Thaïs Alessandrin and the acclaimed Sandrine Kiberlain (winner of the César Award for '9 Months... Under Sentence!) make the relationship between mother and daughter believable and touching, with a positive representation of femininity seen from different generations.

The Book of Wonders
A beautiful French production that deals with a profound theme in an accessible and sincere manner. The Book of Wonders tells the story of a woman (Alexandra Lamy) whose 12-year-old son falls into a coma. The mother embarks on a journey to fulfill adventures on the wish list as a way to cope with the loss and also to show the beauty of the world. Like any movie of this kind, it has its clichés, but if you're looking for something to warm your heart, this is an excellent choice.
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
