Summer of 85 / dir. François Ozon
What do you dream about when you are 16 and in the 80’s of the last century you are in a seaside resort in Normandy? About best friend? About a lifelong teenage pact? About going on an adventure on a boat or motorcycle? About the killer pace of life? No. You dream of death. Because you will not experience more pleasure than dying. And that’s why you save it to the very end.
There is no evil / dir. Mohammad Rasoulof
Every country that promotes the death penalty needs people to kill other people. The four men are faced with an unimaginable but simple choice.

Anomalisa /dir. Charlie Kaufman, Duke Johnson
Michael Stone successfully makes a living as a life motivator. He can give great advice to others, but not himself. He arrives in Cincinnati, where he has to positively motivate the participants of the congress for the employees of the customer lines. He stays in a hotel just like any other hotel he has been in over the years, and undergoes a series of learned rituals. He would probably drive away this crisis, as usual, with booze and sleep, if he did not meet the extremely shy Lisa Hesselman, who is his fan.
