Wedding

Croatia, Serbia 95 min.
On his birthday, a well-known Croatian entrepreneur learns that he is on the brink of bankruptcy. His family arrive in his office bearing a cake and tamburitza musicians. At the same time, he receives a call from his daughter, who is studying in London. Along with her birthday wishes, she informs him that she is pregnant. The father of the child is the son of a Serbian minister.

Inclusion Festival: Extraordinary

Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Latvia, Serbia 83 min.
When ten-year-old Alice's parents mysteriously vanish one day, she turns to a spirited group of young detectives for help. Their mission becomes more challenging when her brother Milan must join their investigation. He can't be left alone, and wherever Alice goes, he goes too. Milan sees and experiences the world differently, and what starts as a complication soon becomes their greatest strength. The children discover creative and heartwarming ways to connect with Milan, and his unique perspective proves invaluable to their detective work. Together, this unlikely team embarks on an extraordinary adventure, unraveling clues and solving a mystery bigger than they ever imagined. Through friendship, understanding, and courage, they not only crack the case but also discover something even more precious: the power of acceptance, the magic of true teamwork, and bonds that will last a lifetime.

At a shelter for young mothers near Liège, Jessica, Perla, Julie, Ariane and Naïma are trying to build a better future for themselves and their newborn babies, even though they are still children themselves.

Tale from the Past is set in the 1930s and tells the story of a poor village family who arrange a marriage between their grown daughter, Marigo, and the underage son of a wealthy couple.

Project Hail Mary

Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there.
