A film by Andrei Konchalovsky (PARADISE, THE POSTMAN’S WHITE NIGHTS, HOUSE OF FOOLS)
2020 - Russia - Drama - 2.39 - 120 min
with Julia Vysotskaya, Vladislav Komarov, Andrei Gusev
A provincial town in the south of the USSR, 1962. Lyudmila, a devout Communist Party official and idealistic veteran of WW II, is a scourge of anything she perceives as anti-Soviet sentiment. Together with other local Party officials, she is taken by surprise by a strike at the local factory, in which her own daughter is taking part. As the situation quickly spirals out of control, Lyudmila begins a desperate search for her daughter in the face of curfews, mass arrests, and the authorities’ ruthless attempts to cover up the state violence. Her once unquestioning faith in the Party line is shaken by her growing awareness of its human toll, tearing apart the world she thought she knew.

A film by Julia von Heinz (I’M OFF THEN, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS)
2020 - Germany/France - Drama - 2.39 - 110 min
with Mala Emde (CHARITÉ, BRECHT, 303), Noah Saavedra (O BEAUTIFUL NIGHT), Tonio Schneider
When Luisa leaves her wealthy parents to study law, her best friend introduces her to a rag-tag collective of Antifa activists drawn together by their will to fight for the cause and a disdain of conventions. In their mission to halt the continued rise of neo-Nazis across Germany, the group quickly comes to a crossroad: does combatting hate justify violence? As Luisa struggles to understand whether her actions are motivated by personal allegiances or political convictions, she and the group must decide what to do when the ideological fight against fascism becomes concrete.
