Trailer
Why watch this film?
A melancholic queer drama by Andrew Haigh about healing the pain of the past to open ourselves to the future. With discreet fantasy elements, 'All of Us Strangers' is the story of a solitary writer, Adam (Andrew Scott, Fleabag), who lives alone in a remote London apartment tower, where his only neighbor is another man named Harry (Paul Mescal from Aftersun). However, he resists contact with him. In search of inspiration, he decides to travel to the house where he grew up before his parents' death, but to his surprise, he finds them alive and happy to reunite with him after so many years. The film doesn't bother with explanations, as its goal is to tell a story about conversations that never took place, apologies that never arrived, and traumas that were not healed, with powerful performances, beautiful visual metaphors, and a soundtrack that only enhances its bittersweet nostalgia.

Lean On Pete
This touching British drama set in the United States explores the relationship between a 15-year-old (played by Charlie Plummer, John Paul Getty III from 'All the Money in the World') who ends up forming a strong bond with a horse and, together, they travel around the country - a metaphor for discovering ourselves during adolescence. The production is from A24, also responsible for features like 'Moonlight' and 'Lady Bird', and was highly praised by festivals it appeared at, including the Marcello Mastroianni Award (for best emerging actor) at the Venice Film Festival.
Drama
Raspberries with Mustard
Meeri Ehrlich, 13 years old has three problems. First: She is in love - with the wrong person - and has butterflies in her tummy. Second: Her mother passed away and she misses her a lot. Third: her father - owner of a funeral home - is looking for a new partner. But Meeri has something that is only hers, something very special - she can fly.
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
