Why watch this film?
From director Carla Simón (winner of the Berlin Golden Bear for Alcarràs), Carta a mi madre para mi hijo is a short film that is part of the Miu Miu Women's Tales project, the Italian high fashion brand's initiative to bring together the best female filmmakers of the moment. Filmed while Simón was pregnant, the short film is an intimate tribute to her mother, to memory, and a warm attempt to immortalize the maternal bond through cinema. It is a simple, even scattered narrative at times, but very beautiful and moving.

Summer 1993
"Summer 1993" is a beautiful movie with autobiographical elements from the Spanish director Carla Simón, who masterfully narrates the moments of a small girl who becomes an orphan due to an "unnamed" illness, surrounded by mystery and secrets: AIDS in the nineties. A subtle and beautiful movie that you definitely have to give yourself the opportunity to watch.

Alcarràs
The Spanish director Carla Simón (Verano 1993) returns with a new intimate and sensitive portrait of family life and childhood, now framed in a moment of crisis. Alcarràs follows a family that, for generations, has been dedicated to the cultivation of peaches in a small Catalan town, but the world comes crashing down when they are stripped of their land and forced to evacuate. The filmmaker once again opts for naturalistic performances that are impecable and elevate this intimate portrait of the simultaneous fragility and strength of belonging and family life.

The Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
