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.

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.
Carta a mi madre para mi hijo
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.
Adventure
Wish
If we were to describe "Wish" in a few words, it would be as the consolidation of 100 years of Disney stories about the value of dreaming and striving to fulfill one's dreams. The plot follows Asha, a young dreamer aspiring to become the apprentice of King Magnifico, the sovereign of the Kingdom of Rosas, who has the power to grant wishes. However, when she discovers a dark truth about the king, Asha decides to confront him with little more help than a Star that fell from the sky. "Wish" relies on nostalgia for Disney's extensive legacy, and its story is not the most original. However, it's undeniable that it will be enjoyed by the most loyal fans of the House of the Mouse, whether they like its new animation style or not.
Mickey and Friends Trick or Treats
