Trailer
Why watch this film?
'Ashes In the Snow' is based on the book 'Life in Shades of Gray' by American author Ruta Sepetys, which was her debut novel. The story is heartbreaking, both in the literary work and in the film adaptation. Set in Lithuania during World War II, the movie follows the time when Lithuanians were exiled to Siberia and faced harsh living conditions. This historical context can be known, but it can be very hard to watch, just like stories about the Holocaust, which are also not easy to swallow. 'Ashes In the Snow' is a dry and necessary production, especially for those who do not have such a broad knowledge of World War II. Most of the films of this period focus on what happened to the Germans and Jews, but we know that the scars of the Great Wars were even wider. The movie is very well done, the work of the costume, scenery and soundtrack are highlights apart, as well as the cast, which moves anyone.

Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
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.
