Trailer
Why watch this film?
Combining drama and humor, this film addresses the issue of immigration - without hiding its problems and prejudices, but also taking an ingenuous look at the actions of the character Marx. In some way, watching this feature should inspire us to be more like the character who helps the immigrant boy than like the police officers chasing him.

The Other Side of Hope
'The Other Side of Hope' draws a comedic parallel between the Syrian refugee crisis in Europe and the capitalist system of that continent. This mark of more serious matters handled with humor is common in the films of Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki - known for 'The Man Without a Past' which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film. The production was very well received by critics and won the award for Best Direction at the Berlin Film Festival.
Fallen Leaves
Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki is back with his acidic, deadpan, and eccentric yet always human stories about the everyday struggles of the working class. Fallen Leaves tells the love story of Ansa (Alma Pöysti) and Holappa (Jussi Vatanen), which, despite being a light in the darkness for its protagonists, is thwarted by the whims of chance. Kaurismäki presents us with a tale infused with ironic humor that exalts the dignity of its characters in the face of the adversity of a cruel world, both in the mundane and in global conflicts. It not only inspires but is profoundly and powerfully romantic.
Comedy
Psychic by Accident
In the plot, at the age of 40, architect Ulisses (Otaviano Costa), skeptical of his career and unsure of his talents, visits a “vocational coach” who promises to find people’s true vocation. After drinking suspicious tea offered by the professional in her crazy ritual, Ulisses blacks out and has his belongings stolen. But mysteriously he leaves there with a strange power: discovering, with just a touch, people's true vocation.
Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie

Descendants: The Rise of Red

Kinds of Kindness
A triptych fable following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
