Autokar
In the 1990s, eight-year-old Agata leaves her Polish homeland for Belgium – a journey that frightens her. On the bus, she begins to write a letter to her father, who has remained in Poland. When her pencil falls and rolls away, Agata is forced to overcome her shyness. In search of the pencil, she winds her way between the rows of seats and plunges into a fantastical world inhabited by strange passengers – half human, half animal. Agata's perception transforms the reality of migration into an initiatory experience.

Los lobos
‘You are strong wolves. Wolves don't cry. Wolves bite. They howl. And they protect their home.’
Eight-year-old Max and his little brother Leo don't have much, but they have each other and their mother Lucía. And they have a shared dream: to go to Disneyland. The family recently emigrated from Mexico to the United States, and while Lucía tries to establish a financial foundation for their new start by working various jobs, the two brothers spend long days in their sparse one-room flat. Their new four walls, which they are not allowed to leave, become a projection screen for imaginative adventures and open up a view of their new life. In Los Lobos, director Samuel Kishi Leopo draws on his own childhood experiences and places them in a highly topical context – relentless and poetic, melancholic and hopeful.
