Lucy is a 32-year-old woman living in Los Angeles with her best friend Jane and working as a receptionist at a spa. She finds little satisfaction in her romantic life, including with her friend Ben, who becomes frustrated at her continued avoidance of his advances. Jane receives a work promotion that will require her to relocate to London, and goes out for drinks with Lucy and Jane’s boyfriend Danny to celebrate. After Jane confesses to kissing a female friend as a teenager, Lucy drunkenly tells her that she thinks she might be a lesbian. Jane encourages her to explore her feelings, suggesting that Lucy should pursue her flirtatious massage therapist co-worker Brittany.
Lucy invites Brittany to her house for dinner, but receives mixed signals as Brittany shares about her ex-boyfriend, but also declares her sexuality to be „on the spectrum” and kisses her before leaving. Jane brings Lucy to a lesbian bar, but Lucy is shy and soon leaves after seeing Jane kissing other women on the dance floor; the two fight and stop speaking. Lucy meets up with Brittany again. The two have sex, but Brittany quickly leaves the following morning and becomes distant, later reconciling with her ex-boyfriend. Meanwhile, Jane deals with the pressures of her upcoming move, including her self-absorbed co-worker Kat and Danny’s confession that he does not want to join Jane in London as she assumed he would.
Lucy quits her job to return to her passion of painting, and begins meeting other women on dating apps. She comes out to Ben, and the two reconcile as friends. After going on a „hammock retreat” with Kat, Jane makes up with Lucy, excitedly offering support for the changes in her life. Lucy offers to drive Jane to the airport as she heads to London, only to reveal that she will be joining her on the trip to help ease her transition.
Lia, a retired teacher, has made a promise to find out what happened to her long-lost niece, Tekla. When Lia learns from a neighbour, Achi, that Tekla might have left their Georgian homeland and be living in Turkey, Lia and Achi set off together to find her. Arriving in Istanbul, they discover a beautiful city full of connections and possibilities. But searching for someone who never intended to be found is harder than they expected – until they meet Evrim, a lawyer fighting for trans rights. As Lia and Achi weave their way through the city’s backstreets, Tekla starts to feel closer than ever. Levan Akin’s fourth feature film is filled with an impressive emotional immediacy. Two initially hesitant strangers overcome not only ideological but also internal boundaries on their mission and join forces. The topography of the city plays just as important a role in this ode to humanity as the array of characters that live within it.

Trojan is released from jail and goes straight back to his profession as a criminal. He gets hold of a weapon and looks out for new jobs. In just a few takes, Thomas Arslan sets up the anonymous world of his gangster protagonist by falling back on motifs and characters from the genre. The backroom of a car workshop, parking lots, furnished apartments. One meets men and women who distrust each other because they are all out to line their own pockets. The setting changes constantly, with surveillance and chase scenes providing a dynamic narrative rhythm. Since crime makes up Trojan’s daily existence, the film concentrates entirely on the technical nature of a life outside the law. The reduced and clear-cut images – shot with a Red camera – highlight the exact sequence of events. Im Schatten is a genre film that focuses consistently on the mechanics and external process of a crime. It develops a sense of great suspense, without burdening its figures with personal stories. Each hand movement has to be right. All of a sudden, the question of whether Trojan will manage to start the getaway car on time becomes a great movie moment.

“Averroès” and “Rosa Parks” are two psychiatric units at the Esquirol Hospital in Paris. They belong to the same network as the “Adamant”, the floating day clinic on the river Seine at the heart of Nicolas Philibert’s film Sur l’Adamant, winner of the Golden Bear at the 2023 Berlinale. In Averroès & Rosa Parks, Philibert continues his exploration of this topic. From individual interviews to meetings between patients and carers, the filmmaker focuses on showing a form of psychiatry that continually strives to make room for and rehabilitate the patients’ words. Little by little, each one eases open the door to their world. But within an increasingly worn-out health system, how can the forsaken be given a place in society among the rest?

Following In the Shadows, the film Scorched Earth is the second part of Thomas Arslan’s Trojan trilogy. Twelve years after career criminal Trojan was forced to flee Berlin, the search for contracts leads him back to the city. Trojan is broke and urgently needs a new job. But Berlin has changed and his old contacts are no longer of much use. Plus, Trojan’s maxim of only ever working for cash is hard to follow in an increasingly digitalised world. So it takes some time before the middlewoman Rebecca finally offers him the prospect of a lucrative contract: a painting by Caspar David Friedrich is to be stolen from a museum. The heist unites Trojan with getaway driver Diana, his former mate Luca and the young Chris. Everything looks promising, but the shadowy client and his henchman Victor have their own plans for the painting. Soon it becomes less about the money and more about getting out alive.
