The story revolves around Salma, a smart and strong-willed young girl who knows exactly what she wants out of life. Today, she's in search of ice cream; tomorrow, she plans to explore the world. Her character is a testament to the power of ambition and determination. Salma struggles with her father’s absence, who is often far away, adding complexity to her relationship with her mother, which has not always been easy. This family dynamic shapes her personality and decisions. Salma finds a supportive figure in her Sudanese driver, Qamar, who enriches her life experiences and provides her with a sense of security.

U ARE THE UNIVERSE
Director: Pavlo Ostrikov
Far into the future, Earth is peppered with nuclear waste storage units overstuffed with radioactive garbage which, thanks to an increase in volcanic activity, is destroying the planet. Space trucker Andriy’s mission is to dump this waste on Callisto, one of Jupiter’s moons, from a rig with only a down-at-heel gym and a wise-cracking robot called Martin to keep him entertained. Then he sees the Earth explode behind him. Does this mean he is the last person left alive? Apparently not: the voice of a French woman reaches him from a distant space station. He just has to find a way to blast in her direction. Ostrikov contemplates the awful reality of loneliness, but provides plenty of laughs along the way.
WE LIVE IN TIME
Director: John Crowley
Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield bring humour and exceptional personal chemistry to this compelling tale of love, marriage, and heartache. The movie's unique feature is that the narrative skips back and forth in time across a decade so that we absorb all of their lives – highs, lows, romance and parenthood – as a jigsaw puzzle that helps us understand their decisions in the different phases of their relationship. It's a real tearjerker that shows how ambitious chef Almut meets Tobias, a data cruncher whose marriage has just ended, and then they fall in love and have to cope with all the hurdles put in front of them. When Almut decides to enter a high-stakes cooking championship the tension between them boils over.
MONSIEUR AZNAVOUR
Director: Mehdi Idir
Charles Aznavour, the son of Armenian immigrants who became a defining voice of France, died in 2018 aged 94. Two years later, his sons, Mischa and Nicolas, announced they had been working with their father on a biopic to be released this year: Aznavour’s centenary. This stunning musical drama is an intimate portrait of the artist’s life that's packed with biographical information. Growing up in poverty gave him an unswerving determination to reach the top; by the 1940s, he was playing cabarets with Pierre Roche, but his ambition was a solo career and a mass audience. Tahir Rahim plays Aznavour in a drama punctuated with disarmingly honest anecdotes from family members, giving us both the man and, of course, his music.
