Why watch this film?
"Love triangles are always complicated, with frustrated people, unrequited loves and the like. Now, few love triangles are as complicated as the one seen in 'Ein Fisch, der auf dem Rücken schwimmt', the German film by director and screenwriter Eliza Petkova ('Zhaleika'). Here, we follow the story of a father and son who both fall in love with Andrea, a mysterious woman, at the same time. Bold, provocative and with a notably slow pace, the feature film shows the coldness of German cinema in contrast to a strong situation that boils and provokes."

Andrea, a woman without a past, is the object of both Philipp's and his son's desire. A love triangle filled with expectations, longing and fears leaves open the speculation of who knows what about whom.

Drama
Doi Boy
Sorn, an ethnic Shan sex worker, copes with his bitter reality in Chiang Mai, Thailand by imagining himself in his clients 'lives. He is drawn into a complex relationship with one client, an investigator probing a political activist, even as he tries to build a future of his own as a refugee far from home.
Elena Knows
Elene (Mercedes Morán) searches for the person responsible for her daughter Rita's sudden death. Unable to get answers that help her understand what happened, she takes on the investigation herself. Despite the progression of the Parkinson's disease she suffers from, she embarks on a train journey from the suburb to the capital, seeking help from an old friend of her daughter. This is where filmmaker Anahí Berneri (Alanis) makes room for Morán (Neruda) to have a true tour de force on screen, embracing the film for herself—a challenging responsibility that works. It's a drama with touches of a thriller that leaves nothing behind and, in the end, succeeds in bringing emotion and suspense in good measures.
How to Have Sex
Selected in the "Un Certain Regard" section at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, 'How to Have Sex' is the powerful debut from British filmmaker Molly Manning Walker, and on the surface, it might seem like just another coming-of-age movie. The plot follows a group of British teenagers who go on vacation to Greece, in what was supposed to be the best summer of their lives. However, the script (also written by Manning Walker) subtly brushes against horror conventions to explore and question the intricacies of sexual freedom and consent. It's the kind of film that leaves you thinking long after the credits have rolled.
