Drama 1 hr 42 mins

Written, produced and directed by Francois Ozon, who deftly walks a tonal tightrope in this quiet generational family drama which morphs into a slow burn crime thriller. It centres around retired grandmother Michelle living in rural Burgundy. When her estranged daughter visits to drop off her son to stay with his grandmother for the summer, she accidentally gets poisoned by foraged mushrooms. The family drama ensues with hidden secrets and tensions revealed, which are then increased by the arrival of Michelle’s best friend’s son, recently released from prison, complicating everyone’s lives.

Spain 2024

With : Eduard Fernandez, Clara Segura, Zoe Bonafonte

Historical drama 1hr 46mins

Inspired by true events, this stirring drama tells the story of Vitaliano, a bus driver in 1970s Barcelona. Tired of the city’s neglect of the working-class Torre Baró neighbourhood, he decides to hijack his own bus—the number 47—to prove that the steep, narrow streets are accessible to public transport. It is a powerful testament to grassroots activism and the dignity of a community fighting for its right to the city.
