The film
follows 4 young Brazilians from a village that was just recently discovered by tourists.
It shows the immense influence that the tourists have over the lives of the locals, and
the difference between the way the tourists conceive the locals and the reality that is
filmed. The arrival of foreigners to the village has created a new variety of options for
self fulfillment, that doesn't go hand in hand with the economical and social
possibilities of the locals. |

The Old
Stores
|
53 |
Israel |
This is
the story of a number of old stores in modern-day Tel Aviv-Jaffa, all small businesses, 40
years old or older, who have somehow survived despite the hardships of time. The film
passes between the stores and unfolds an old and aging world of tradition and family
businesses, a whole fabric of life and places very different from the fast, dynamic life
that surrounds us. Among the participating shops: A barber shop about to close, Mikolinsy
shoes which was one of the city's most elegant shops and an Arab-owned pharmacy in Jaffa
run by a father and his son. |

Alec Kopyt, a musician from Amsterdam returns to Moldavanka
- the former Jewish neighbourhood of Odessa - his place of birth and the cradle of
old-time Russian Mafia songs (Blatnyak). He is looking for musicians to play together
these songs in the restaurant of an old friend. While strolling along the picturesque
yards of the ruinous slums, we meet colourful Odesits who resemble the ancient heroes of
the street songs we hear. A touching portrait of a neighbourhood, its music and
performers. |

'My way' is an intimist drama, with doses of a thriller,
that tells the story of Marco (Ariel Casas), a small-time drug dealer who wants to quit
the 'profession' and lead a normal life with his wife (Silvia Marsó), his daughter
(Susana Fawaz) and his brother (Jaume García Arija). But, after the death of his mother
(Asunción Balaguer), he discovers that his father (Joan Dalmau), who he hasn't seen in
years, has Alzheimer's, and he decides to take him home. This new family environment,
which is becoming more and more complicated and tense, as well as the shadow of his drug
dealings, make things happen in a hasty and unpredictable way. |
