Trailer
Why watch this film?
Based on real facts, this is one of those movies to captivate us, about a young man who is ready to overcome any obstacle in order to reunite with his own family. The themes of loneliness, search for origins, family and reunion are universal, but gain an interesting Indian flavor in this movie. Also, the beautiful photography stands out.

From the same director
Mary Magdalene
Rooney Mara looks great as 'Mary Magdalene', unfortunately the female role gets lost in the story - which ends up giving a bigger protagonism to Jesus, played by Joaquin Phoenix, in several moments of the production. Despite this, director Garth Davis, from 'Lion: A Journey Home', did a good job on the movie.
Foe
Marital drama and science fiction come together in 'Foe,' a film directed by Garth Davis (Lion: A Long Way Home), based on the novel by Iain Reid, and starring Paul Mescal (Aftersun) and the always impeccable Saoirse Ronan (Little Women). The story, set in an apocalyptic 2065, follows a couple, Hen and Junior, leading a mundane life until a stranger appears at their door with a surprising proposition: to participate in the OuterMore space colony, while a robotic replica of one of them stays on Earth to live with their spouse. Despite having a somewhat slow pace, the film presents interesting ideas about human identity and the search for meaning in an increasingly dehumanized world, like a blend between the powerful classic "Never Let Me Go" and an episode of Black Mirror.
Drama
Kidnapped
'Kidnapped' - The story of Edgardo Mortara, a young Jewish boy living in Bologna, Italy, who in 1858, after being secretly baptized, was forcibly taken from his family to be raised as a Christian. His parents’ struggle to free their son became part of a larger political battle that pitted the papacy against forces of democracy and Italian unification.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
