Layla, a 27-year-old Saudi mother living in Florence, is consumed by the silent weight of postpartum depression. Isolated in her apartment while her husband moves through the city, she feels emotionally disconnected from her newborn, Zeid. The cries that fill the space around her only deepen the emptiness inside. Lost in a shifting maze of memory and fear, Layla finds herself trapped between the echoes of her child and the terrifying possibility that she may be losing herself entirely.

ERUPCJA
Director: Pete Ohs
Pack your bags for a weekend in Warsaw, Poland in the company of an ensemble cast of characters who criss-cross, connect and re-connect at pivotal junctures. Bethany (Charli XCX) is on a romantic getaway with Rob (Will Madden), who plans to propose, but she hasn’t been entirely honest about her past, or her friendship with Nel (Lena Góra) a florist. Every time they meet there’s a seismic event, an Erupcja (eruption) which leads them down different paths. With Jeremy O. Harris on hand for advice, Pete Ohs’ film resonates, capturing a mood that feels fresh and filled with possibilities. The film is reminiscent of the New Wave and the Before series, but, like Bethany, Eurpcja is its own force.
A SAD AND BEAUTIFUL WORLD
Director: Cyril Aris
Born during a tragic massacre in Beirut, Nino and Yasmina are cosmically bound from childhood. Through shared hardships — Nino’s loss of his parents and Yasmina’s parents’ divorce — they forge an unbreakable bond. Yasmina, dreaming of escape, proposes a magical train ride to a remote island. Nino agrees, but their plan is shattered when she moves away. Fate reunites them 24 years later, and despite her cynical view of Beirut and life, Yasmina is captivated by Nino’s optimism. She falls in love, abandoning her emigration plans, and is swept away by their connection. This is a powerful tale of longing, love and destiny, portrayed by performances that remind us of the beauty of life when viewed through love's lens.
