Bitter Christmas
Elsa is a marketing executive whose mother passes away during the long Christmas holidays. In an attempt to escape reality, she throws herself into work, unconsciously denying herself the time and space to grieve. It is only after suffering an emotional breakdown that she decides to leave the city and take a short trip to Lanzarote with her friend, Patricia. Their journey becomes intertwined with that of a screenwriter and film director as they explore the timeless — and at times painful — connection between life and art.
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
After years of slapdash sequels, the Camp Miasma franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection. But when she visits the original’s star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.
Honey Bunny
Tonina, a caring and self-confident accountant, runs her company together with her husband and daughter. Along with all her obligations, Tonina is also caring for her mother, who has dementia and is bedridden. Her younger sister Tajana and her family take a far more easygoing and less ambitious approach to life. The two sisters clash when Tonina secretly buys a share of their island family house from their cousin Željka, even though the sisters had agreed to buy it together.
Our Father
Dejan (32) is brought to a monastic community for addiction treatment by his mother, where they are welcomed by the charismatic and authoritarian Father Branko (56). Dejan is assigned a sponsor, Mionica (33), who has undergone treatment himself and is expected to guide Dejan on the road to recovery. The community operates as a strictly organised system, governed by clear rules of discipline and punishment. Recognising Dejan’s potential, Father Branko gradually entrusts him with more and more responsible duties.
However, when disturbing footage emerges of Father Branko brutally beating one of the residents, the survival and methods of the community are seriously called into question. One evening, Dejan’s sponsor, Mionica, returns to the centre under the influence of drugs. Now Father Branko’s right-hand man, Dejan must make a difficult decision: should he try to save his friend or brutally punish him in front of everyone as Branko orders?

La Bola Negra
Spanning 1932, 1937, and 2017, three men confront the ghosts of a Spain torn between desire and repression. Carlos fights for acceptance, Sebastián falls in love across the battle lines of the Civil War, and Alberto unearths a family secret buried for decades.
