Trailer
Why watch this film?
In the United States, a Korean-American young man holds a New Year's banquet for his mother, dying of cancer in the room next door. This is the scene that opens the feature film 'Coming Home Again', directed and written by Wayne Wang (of the acclaimed 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan'). From this intimate and painful scene, we follow the memories of this boy about childhood, life in America and, above all, the relationship with his mother - not always easy. We also witness sincere conversations between the two, rushing to solve problems and clear doubts as the end approaches. Although exaggeratedly slow at times and with a serious problem of simplifying powerful cultural issues (unlike what happens in 'Minari', for example), there is beauty in this story about family, forgiveness, memory and reunions. You just need to be patient to walk for 90 minutes and, in the end, find a beautiful and delicate pearl.

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
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
