Fences
Natalia Krawczuk
A bird in a cage, a toddler in a playpen… We deal with partitions in our own ways. Does it make sense to build walls? What is the role of fences – both physical fences and the ones in our minds – in our lives?

La Etiuda

A prisoner murders his guard and tries to hide the body in the forest. When a woman accidentally witnesses this, the killer pursues her. Against all odds, she refuses to become another easy victim.

A Documentary Film

7 Sheep
