Why watch this film?
Inspired by the true story of Sergey Fetisov, a young Soviet soldier, the feature tells the love story between him and a fighter pilot during the Cold War. The movie was applauded at several festivals, but was attacked by the press and part of the audience in Russia, who accused it of "homosexual propaganda". In reality, it is an exciting love story with anguishing moments of suspense starring actor Tom Prior ('Kingsman: Secret Service'), whose character is in military service but dreams of becoming an actor. The story takes a surprising turn when the pilot ends up getting involved with a woman in a complicated love triangle. In addition to the good script, the work is a beautiful portrait of the era with strong photography.

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.
