Another film tip is the drama Why Not You (Hochwald) from 6 pm in Světozor. The film follows the dancer Maria in a sleepy Tyrolean small town. The picturesque idyll is disturbed by an attack in a gay club, during which his friend dies. Evi Romen's directorial debut sensitively deals with a difficult and unfortunately highly discussed topic.

The First Death of Joana (A Primeira Morte de Joana) takes you into the world of a thirteen-year-old girl who with her best friend searches for the reason why her favorite great-aunt lived alone and never had a boyfriend. In addition to family secrets, Joana also reveals the truth about herself. The film full of tenderness from the Brazilian countryside will be screened in Lucerna from 8:30 pm.

You will visit Brazil also thanks to the film Dry Wind (Vento Seco). This extravagant hit by director Daniel Nolasco about desire in its purest form will take you into the world of untamed ideas, where everything is subject to lust, the desire for love and the feeling of closeness. The original film had its world premiere at the Berlinale and you will see it at Mezipatra at 8.30 pm in Světozor.
