If I Had Legs I'd Kick You

U.S.A. 113 min.
The American psychological drama and dark comedy If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You, directed by Mary Bronstein, follows Linda (Rose Byrne), an exhausted New York psychotherapist and mother who is pushed to her limits by her personal crisis. When her apartment ceiling literally collapses on her one day, she must confront another crisis and move into a budget motel with her young daughter.

On a weekend trip to the countryside, young piano student Laura miraculously survives a car accident.

The Odyssey

UK, USA 172 min.

A Poet

Colombia, Germany, Sweden 123 min.
For Oscar Restrepo, poetry is the meaning of life. Since his poetic integrity has brought him little fame, Oscar has embraced the noble status of a poet in obscurity—naturally, accompanied by copious amounts of alcohol. Yet the uncompromising life of an outsider artist is anything but easy, and his relationships with his daughter and those closest to him are in complete disarray. When he takes a job as a high school teacher, he discovers Yurlady among his disinterested students, a girl for whom inspired poetry and prose flow effortlessly. Yurlady has better things to do than dabble in verse, but Oscar is on a mission—to open for her the doors of fame he himself never managed to pass through.

Heretic

U.S.A., Canada 111 min.
Heretic is a psychological thriller and horror film that explores the clash between faith and supernatural forces. It features a tense atmosphere and intriguing characters.

Honey Bunny

Tonina, a caring and self-confident accountant, runs her company together with her husband and daughter. Along with all her obligations, Tonina is also caring for her mother, who has dementia and is bedridden. Her younger sister Tajana and her family take a far more easygoing and less ambitious approach to life. The two sisters clash when Tonina secretly buys a share of their island family house from their cousin Željka, even though the sisters had agreed to buy it together.
