Score:
The first post-war summer, the Czech-Polish-German border. The people of the isolated Berghof farm become prisoners of the Werewolves, who refuse to admit Germany’s defeat. The conflict is an analysis of a marginal human situation and the people who oscillate between extremes. The central character of the story is a nun, Salome, bringing everything to the lonely farm except the expected mercy. One of her antagonists is a Czechoslovak lieutenant who tries hard to ensure order.

Ice skates cut the ice. Silhouettes of hockey players swirl in the spray of the frost, and sharp scratches remain on the ice behind them. Talented goalkeeper David (16) is joining a new team. He will do everything in his power to make a name for himself in the Wolves hockey team. But the position of the current goalkeeper Miky (16) seems unshakable. In addition, Miky is the son of a coach. David really doesn't fit in with the Wolves. Maybe it's the small plastic box that pumps insulin into his body. But David will not be defeated by diabetes. He is an outsider in the team and faces an avalanche of bullying. Those who do not attack also do no not help. David tries to fight, but the result is even worse. Pushes, injuries and humiliations pile on each other like the spiral scars of tracks engraved by ice skates. What will David do?

Projection place: Golden Apple Cinema, sál 6
Score:
An uplifting story about finding sanity in the most unlikely of places. Sometimes what’s in your head isn’t as crazy as you think. That’s certainly true for Craig, a stressed-out teenager who checks himself into a mental health clinic for some time out. What he finds instead is an unlikely mentor, a potential new romance, and an opportunity to begin anew. Charming, witty and smart, it’s a coming-of-age story that’s kind of a funny story.
