Why watch this film?
After a long stint working in Hollywood, with films like 'When a Man Loves a Woman', Mexican filmmaker Luis Mandoki returned to direct in Spanish with 'Voces Inocentes', based on the childhood of filmmaker Oscar Torres, who witnessed the horrors of the Salvadoran Civil War, in which children were even recruited from the age of 12 to fight. Without falling into sensationalism, it is a production that balances the innocent vision of its young protagonists with the brutality of what they are going through. The film was awarded at the 2005 Berlin International Film Festival and earned 10 nominations for the Ariel Awards - Best Film among them -, of which it won three statuettes: Best Female Co-acting (Ofelia Medina), Best Makeup and Best Special Effects.

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.

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.
