Trailer
Why watch this film?
"Deserving of 13 Ariel Award nominations (including Best Film), 'Los Lobos' is the second feature film from Mexican director Samuel Kishi ('Somos Mari Pepa') that witnesses childhood and motherhood in the context of migration, but without ever falling into misery. On the contrary, the film offers a vision of innocence that charms with its sincerity and intimacy, without taking its finger off the wound when it comes to the difficulties in the lives of its protagonists. A true demonstration that accessible stories can be told in Mexican cinema, but at the same time profound and poetic."

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

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.
