When Morning Comes

Ten-year-old Jamal (Djamari Roberts) has just been suspended from school, but his protestations of innocence fall on deaf ears, and his mother (Shaquana Wilson) decides to send him to live with his grandmother in Canada. The premise for Kelly Fyffe-Marshall´s feature is simple, but it offers scope for a
rich, sensitive examination of life in Jamaica for a single mother and her young son living on the poverty line.

Utama

Elderly couple, Virginio and Sisa, live remotely on the parched Altiplano, the Bolivian plateau subject to severe erosion, with no amenities such as running water or electricity. The local community, playing versions of themselves, add a documentary layer to the movie. Climate change casts a dark shadow over this Bolivian drama.

Tótem

Seven-year-old Sol (Naíma Sentíes) spends the day at her grandfather's house, where the family is preparing a surprise party for her terminally ill father. As the day progresses, the family's relationships are put to the test. Shot in a single interior location, the movie takes the viewer inside the delicate family relationships that are soaked in life as well as grief and loss.

Sur l´Adamant

A heartwarming and touching documentary about the Adamant, a unique day-care center in a boat located on the Seine river, in the heart of Paris. A safe place where psychiatric patients can spend their days making music, developing creative activities and lending a listening ear. People who have difficulty communicating because of fears, obsessions or because their heads work differently.

Simple comme Sylvain

Philosophy professor Sophia has a pleasant but not very intimate relationship with Xavier. While renovating their country house, Sophia meets the rough and attractive Sylvain, a builder from a completely different background. Sophia comes from a wealthy family, while Sylvain comes from a family of manual workers.
