Alice, a buoyant and impertinent red-hair teenager is far from the charming little girl her mother adopted as she was unable to have a child of her own. Being an endless source of problems and affected by the specter of her mother’s disappointments, Alice acts with her back against the wall, forging lies and blurring lines between the fiction she designs for herself and the reality of her existence. Until her mother discovers she is pregnant.

"If you don't see any problems, you don't have any" is Janne's attitude regarding the fact
that her new boss's brother-in-law has slept with her against her will. She keeps the incident
under wraps and lets everything take its normal course. Her silence has consequences,
though, and not just for her relationship with Piet.

There’s a ripple of disquiet in the locker-room when Leon, a new striker, joins the football team. Sharing a flat with keen rival Mario sets the scene for an unexpected love affair, but the path of gay love in this macho world is not an easy one. Mario is unwilling or unable to acknowledge the implications of what is happening. But pretend girlfriends don’t fool everyone. And gossip, along with the threat of blackmail, unbalances the team’s morale. With the prospect of a professional career a strong possibility, will Mario forsake the hope of emotional satisfaction for professional gain?

ELDORADO |
 |
A Film by Markus Imhoof (MORE THAN HONEY)
2018 - Documentary - Switzerland/Germany - 1.85 - 92 min
In the lean years of World War II, the family of Swiss director Markus Imhoof took in Giovanna, an Italian refugee part of a limited-term program for children. When her stay ended, Giovanna was forced to return to Italy, where she died of illness soon after.
With this early experience as a point of entry to the ongoing refugee crisis, Imhoof takes us on a journey with extraordinary access through the Italian warships of Operation Mare Nostrum, refugee camps handled by the italian Mafia, asylum hearings with local authorities, all designed to turn back refugees at all levels.
What emerges is a stark picture of a human tragedy and the biggest mass displacement of people since World War II.
