Common Pear poster

In a not-too-distant future ravaged by climate crisis, a team of scientists analyse the archival footage of farmers from the past, in an attempt to understand their connection to the land. In this beautifully shot blend of documentary and fiction, Gregor Božić pays warm tribute to the old growers of the Goriška region in Western Slovenia, who appreciated fruit as more than merely a product for sale.

Baby Money poster
NR

A saleswoman hears her colleague scream as a masked robber threatens her with a knife. She calls the police and seeks help from passersby. A little later, 13-year-old Edi and his four friends watch social media videos of the robbery, while neighborhood dealer Anel arrives with weed. Teenagers are on edge; they know that Anel's mother works at the robbed store. At first, Anel is utterly unaware of what’s happening, but it doesn’t take long for his mother to call him, blaming him for the possibility that it was his friends that might have committed the robbery. Feeling unjustly treated despite his innocence, Anel is very upset and turns to drinking, which escalates into a fiery clash with Edi. In a moment of chaos, Anel stumbles and crashes to the floor. The others help him to bed. Edi remains by his side, grappling with the weight of his foolish action.
