After a restless night Sandokhan finally decides that Rocky goes to the competition. Romeo takes the only possible step in order to reach his goal: he physically disables Rocky to play at the closing celebration.

The Hostage

The Hostage

Kilnieks

dir. Laila Pakalnina

Latvia, 2006 - 74

A plane flying over Latvia is hijacked by a terrorist in protest at the political changes happening in his country. Tom, a boy of ten, is taken hostage. Soon a friendly kind of partnership develops between the boy and the terrorist, who turns out to be an endearing character. In addition to a ransom, his list of requirements includes a festival that would comprise a choir and a performance by famous athletes. At the same time, in the Riga countryside, a woman sets fire to a field, whilst a ball smashes into a beehive belonging to Anton, who has lost his only cow… Similar ambiances and places, objects the protagonists have in common, serve as link shots between different situations, making a mosaic of apparently unconnected events. Laila Pakalnina combines farce and fiction to depict a version of the reality of Latvian society.

The Railroad All-Stars

The Railroad All-Stars

Estrellas de la línea

dir. Chema Rodríguez

Spain / Colombia, 2006 - 90

Valeria, Vilma and Mercy are part of a group of prostitutes living in the Guatemalan metropolis. Two dollars is the price of their services. These women and mothers dream of a life without the violence they have to face on a daily basis from their clients and the police. In an attempt to come closer to this dream, they establish a football team. The enthusiasm of these unusual female footballers, however, is bound one day to come up against the prejudice of “respectable” citizens. This Spanish documentary, combining humorous moments with cheerless images of tough reality, finds an original way to illustrate one of the most serious problems of this small Central American country. Here, football provides the ideal metaphor for capturing the collective spirit, the shared determination and endeavour to achieve a specific end result.
