Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story

One of the most heartwarming love stories of the year is about the close friendship between a melancholic Scottish man - and an otter. An irresistible film that goes straight to the heart.

Echo of You

A poetic and touchingly honest film about lifelong love and what remains when it disappears. The echoes of love resound in the poignant, humorous and life-affirming stories of those left behind.

Zara Zerny / Denmark / 2023

Eros

Brazil's love motels are a sexual haven where fantasy becomes reality. When the filmmaker's own date never shows up, she gets a fresh idea for a film instead. The result is a kaleidoscopic insight into a parallel world of human desire.

Rachel Daisy Ellis / Brazil / 2024 / International Premiere

Hard to Break

Two young Finns are fuelled by their (self-)destructive love for each other as their parallel lives on social media become further and further removed from reality.

Krista Moisio & Anna-Maija Heinonen / Finland / 2024 / World Premiere

Sting Like a Bee

A warmhearted and beautiful hybrid film about a group of Italian teenagers flirting their way through the summer on their three-wheeled, self-styled Piaggio Ape mopeds. Love, sex and young dreams come together in a film-within-the-film about the young heroes.

Leone Balduzzi / Italy / 2023 / International Premiere

Two Strangers Trying Not To Kill Each Other

Life, death and making meaning are the heart of a beautiful and often very funny film about an aging couple who, after an accident, face the inevitability of impermanence and seek a deep peace in their relationship while they still can.

Jacob Perlmutter & Manon Ouimet / United Kingdom, Denmark & United States / 2024 / World Premiere
