Cecilia Bartolomé: So far, so close poster
NR

Cecilia Bartolomé, a filmmaker, screenwriter, and producer from Alicante, is a pioneer of Spanish cinema. Mistreated by censorship, she still preserves at 80 the free spirit that has always defined her. We will journey with her through a fascinating life, a vital body of work, and a struggle that remains—so far, yet so close.

3 Atos de Moisés poster
NR

Moisés, a Brazilian from Minas Gerais, overcomes poverty, racism, and homophobia to become an internationally renowned pianist. Passionate about music since childhood, he teaches himself to play the piano, practicing on keys he draws on a wooden bench. Through perseverance and determination, he eventually reaches the University of Bremen in Germany, where he begins his career as a soloist. After years in Europe, he returns triumphantly to his hometown of Juiz de Fora, giving a recital where his parents see him perform for the first time.

A Soft Scent of Cinnamon poster
5.7

Valia is a young woman used to observing others as part of her work, and so reality is becoming a canvas where characters live out a kind of life. She records the same shot with a small video camera: the street in front of her apartment where there is a restaurant. Some days later, she meets Guido, the owner of the Italian restaurant. Guido is her antithesis, perfectly adapted to daily life and conscious of his own social dimension. Valia, on the other hand, lives in this two-dimensional world, separated from what is actually happening and what she observes. Valia's life changes when she discovers a small lump on her breast and she is diagnosed with breast cancer. With Guido, Valia recovers her otherness while facing her end.
