Why watch this film?
Interesting Argentine "coming of age" film, 'La Botera' tells the story of a pre-adolescent who dreams of taking on one of her father's jobs: that of a boatman. However, in the style of the exceptional director Pablo Giorgelli's film 'Invisible', things don't go as expected: the father sells the boat, life is hard. The periphery of Argentina oppresses. From there, filmmaker Sabrina Blanco traces the arduous journey of the protagonist in a typical Latin drama production. Special mention for the difficult performance of Nicole Rivadero, the protagonist of the film, who knows how to modulate her emotions accurately, adding layers to the feature film.

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.
