The Mediterranean summer: blue sea, blazing sun and… 250 kilos of gold stolen by Rhino and his gang.

dir. Yunxing Nie

How to Talk to Girls at Parties

How to Talk to Girls at Parties

How to Talk to Girls at Parties

dir. John Cameron Mitchell

USA / United Kingdom, 2017 - 102

The British suburbs in the late 1970s, when punk was born. Enn is a typical teenage schoolboy with two objectives: to get a band together and find a girlfriend. The second of these might be within his reach when he crashes a party and meets the ethereal Zan. She regards punk as being from another planet. It seems there might be some truth in this... A story about the birth of punk, the exuberance of first love, and the universe’s greatest mystery of all: how to talk to girls at parties. Filled with absurdist wit, this is an adaptation of the short story by Neil Gaiman. The film premiered at this year’s Cannes festival.

May You Live in Interesting Times

Ojalá vivas tiempos interesantes

dir. Santiago van Dam

Argentina, 2017 - 107

But the lack of social interaction, his excessive ambitions and the influence of a narcotic plant he cultivates (and sells) to live, does not help him. Marcos is about to quit when his friend Walter proposes an alternative way: he should live a more intense life and describe it, like so many writers before him.
