2 or 3 Things I Know About Him

April 2005 •German

What would your family reminiscences about dad sound like if he had been an early supporter of Hitler’s, a leader of the notorious SA and the Third Reich’s minister in charge of Slovakia, including its Final Solution? Executed as a war criminal in 1947, Hanns Ludin left behind a grieving widow and six young children, the youngest of whom became a filmmaker.

Anchorless

December 2026 •Portuguese

During a trip to Brazil in 2022, Augusto (15), an introspective and dreamy young man, becomes enchanted by Antônio (16), a magnetic and unpredictable boy from Belém. Amid the heat of the World Cup and the waters reflecting a fleeting encounter, a fragile connection is born, stretching across distance when Augusto returns to Italy, turning desire into obsession. While Augusto loses himself in idealizations and the emptiness of delayed responses, Antônio continues his life between parties, friends, and fleeting loves. What begins as a promising romance crumbles under the weight of time, silence, and the things that were never said. As the years pass, Augusto is forced to face an inevitable truth: some loves do not belong to the future, they exist only in memory. An intimate and visceral portrait of love, loss, and growth, Anchorless delves into the fragility of first feelings and the pain of learning that not every story is destined to last.

One of the guests is Joy, a Philippine chore woman attending the event with her employer, and who doesn't speak any Hebrew (she communicates mainly in English), and who is guilt-ridden after having left her young son behind in the Philippines.
