Portuguese-Canadians Icelia and her ten year old daughter Monica have just moved from the Portuguese neighborhood in Toronto's inner city to a small basement suite in the outer suburbs following Icelia's acrimonious break-up with Monica's father, Vincent. While Icelia tries to make ends meet by doing housekeeping work, her brother Albert, who also lives with them sleeping on their living room sofa, is Monica's reluctant guardian and chauffeur. "Reluctant" as he would rather sleep or watch videos than take care of his niece. Icelia is unaware that Albert still associates with Vincent in order to receive what he believes are small favors from Vincent. Meanwhile, Monica, often left to her own devices, is a solitary girl whose primary fascination and focus is Catholicism, most specifically its rituals and symbols...

 FR. La Fin du règne animal est un film français réalisé par Joël Brisse, sorti en 2003, avec dans le rôle principal Bruno Lochet.
Noël est un être à part. Il a renoncé à cultiver ses vignes, il passe le plus clair de son temps à fréquenter les animaux, à converser avec eux. Le reste du village le prend pour un idiot, peut-être même un idiot dangereux, car il semble provoquer des événements, à moins qu'il ne les devine. Sa complice est une enfant, sa nièce, à laquelle il confie son désespoir de voir le mépris des hommes pour les éléments naturels...
EN. Noël is a different kind of man. He has maintained a state of innocence. His apparent non-conformism springs from his intuition, sensuality and, above all, his deep attachment to nature and its elements. People treat him like the village idiot and his one source of refuge and understanding is a little girl. Even Olivia, the local teacher with whom he falls in love, has trouble understanding and accepting his behaviour which she considers primitive.
In a state of despair about living in a world where there is no longer a place for the animal reign, Noël winds up committing an irreversible act...

 Child Bride, also known as Child Brides, Child Bride of the Ozarks, and Dust to Dust (USA reissue titles), is a 1938 American film directed by Harry Revier and produced by Raymond L. Friedgen. The film was promoted as educational and as an attempt to draw attention to the lack of laws banning child marriage in many states.
The film is set in a remote town in the Ozarks. It was very controversial at the time—both for its theme and because of a topless and nude swimming scene by then-12-year-old Shirley Mills. The film bypassed the ban of onscreen nudity under the Hays Code by being produced and distributed independently of the studio system, and by claiming to be educational. Although the film was banned in many areas, the movie's controversial nature gave it a certain infamy and it played on the so-called exploitation circuit for many years.
Jennie is a twelve-year-old girl living with her parents in extremely rural mountain country. Her schoolteacher, Miss Carol, though a mountain girl herself, has gone off to be educated and returned in hopes of stopping the tradition of child marriage which permeates the culture. Jennie's father Ira is a good man who tries to protect Miss Carol from the men who threaten her if she doesn't call off her crusade. One of these men, Jake Bolby, has his eye on little Jennie and plots to make her his bride.

 FL. Maunu Kurkvaaran käsikirjoittama ja ohjaama lastenelokuva perustuu Oiva Paloheimon samannimiseen satukirjaan. Nuori Tirlittan (Tarja Airaksinen) joutuu eroon perheestään salaman iskettyä hänen kotitaloonsa. Uutta kotia etsiessään hän tutustuu ystävälliseen poliisiin (Heikki Savolainen), luuvaloa sairastavaan rouvaan (Sylva Rossi) ja sirkustirehtööriin (Sakari Jurkka). Tirlittan päätyy vetonaulaksi sirkukseen, josta vanhemmat (Pehr-Olof Sirén ja Tuija Halonen) löytävät hänet.
EN. Tweet, Tweet (Finnish: Tirlittan) is a 1958 Finnish children's film directed and written by Maunu Kurkvaara and starring Tarja Airaksinen. It is based on the 1953 children's book Tirlittan by Oiva Paloheimo.
The film didn't prove to be a success. It was left in a weak position, as it was not perceived as a children's film, nor as an adult film. The technical quality of the film was also poor and the remarks of the film had to be recorded afterwards. In addition to all this, Paloheimo, who wrote the book, did not appreciate Kurkvaara's film adaptation either.
Young Tirlittan (Tarja Airaksinen) gets rid of her family after being struck by lightning in her home. While looking for a new home, she meets a friendly policeman (Heikki Savolainen), a woman with gout (Sylva Rossi), and a ringmaster (Sakari Jurkka), with whom Tirlittan ends up performing in a circus.

CZ. První, zpola ještě dětské lásky mohu být vážnější, než by se na první pohled zdálo. Ústřední hrdince je teprve čtrnáct, ale již závistivě pokuje po dívkách jen nepatrně starších, které se již mají s kým objímat. I ona se posléze citově upne na kluka, aniž tuší, že její vyvolený prochází složitým obdobím - vyrovnává s pocitem viny za zranění svého kamaráda. Rádoby poetický, něžný film je však vyprávěn těžkopádně a bez věrohodného zaujetí, výchovné aspekty z něj příliš často zbytečně trčí.

 Just the Wind (Hungarian: Csak a szél) is a 2012 Hungarian drama film directed by Benedek Fliegauf. The film competed in competition at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Jury Grand Prix. The film was selected as the Hungarian entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards, but it did not make the final shortlist.
It is based on an actual series of killings in Hungary. The plot however is fiction and focuses on a Romany family living close by.
News quickly spreads of the murder of a Romany family in a Hungarian village. The perpetrators have escaped and nobody claims to know who might have committed the crime. For another Romany family living close by, the murder only serves to confirm their latent, carefully repressed fears. Far away in Canada the head of the family decides that his wife, children and their grandfather must join him as soon as possible. Living in fear of the racist terror that surrounds them and feeling abandoned by the silent majority, the family tries to get through the day after the attack. By nightfall when darkness descends on the village the family pushes the beds closer together than usual. Yet their hope of escaping the madness proves illusory. Based on an actual series of killings in Hungary that claimed the lives of eight people in less than a year, Bence Fliegauf portrays the pogrom-like atmosphere which breeds such violence. The camera stays hot on the heels of the protagonists, making the breathless escalation of events physically palpable.

 DE. Der 13jährige Dani (Etienne Cahrlé) fährt mit seinen Eltern in den Sommerurlaub. Dort macht er gleich die Bekanntschaft mit Lucie (Sandra Puhlmann) und deren Brüder. Da die drei auch noch über ein Baumhaus verfügen, scheint es für Dani ein spannender und schöner Urlaub zu werden. Doch in diese Idylle schlägt dann die Nachricht wie ein Blitz ein, dass sich seine Eltern (Bärbel Böhl/Joachim Lätsch) scheiden lassen wollen.
Das ist für den Jungen eine ganz schlimme Mitteilung, und er ist froh, dass er mit Lucie darüber reden kann, weshalb er auch länger im Ferienort bleibt als seine Eltern. Dani ist normalerweise das Leben in der Großstadt gewöhnt, doch jetzt ist er froh, dass er sich in diesem ruhigen Dorf mit der Schreckensnachricht auseinandersetzen kann. Lucie gibt sich große Mühe, für Ablenkungen zu sorgen, spricht ihm Mut zu und versucht, ihm Lösungen für sein Problem zu offerieren. Aber Dani kann sich zum Beispiel nicht entscheiden, bei welchem Elternteil er nach der Scheidung leben soll, was Lucie zu dem Vorschlag verleitet, dass Dani doch bei ihr auf dem Lande bleiben soll. Er ist für sie inzwischen ein guter Freund geworden, so dass sie über eine Trennung zum Ende der Ferien sehr traurig wäre.

 IT. A Roma Valentina, una dodicenne soprannominata Pippi, figlia di Cinthya e Marcello arricchiti ma senza ideali, in seguito ad un attacco di epilessia viene ricoverata nel reparto di neuropsichiatria infantile. Un giovane psichiatra, Arturo - appena uscito da una crisi coniugale che sta sforzandosi di esorcizzare - sebbene convinto che il caso sia piuttosto di natura neurologica che psichiatrica, accoglie la ragazzina nel suo reparto, preso da spontaneo interesse per lei. Pippi rivela subito un carattere scontroso e provocatorio, e risulta in difficile rapporto con i genitori, per cui Arturo si propone di tentare con lei una terapia analitica, studiandone attentamente le reazioni al fine di riportarla alla normalità.
EN. The innovative Italian neuropsychiatrist Marco Lombardo Radice started at treatment movement which draws its name from the unlikely object of worship found in the Peanuts cartoon series, The Great Pumpkin, and it seems likely that this movie and its story represent some kind of homage to his memory. Arturo's wife walked out on him, and now he devotes all his time to his job. He is a professor of psychiatry at the university hospital in Rome, and specializes in children's problems. When Pippi is brought in for a consultation, it is alleged that she is an epileptic, but the good doctor thinks otherwise. He convinces her reluctant parents to leave her in his care, and through a series of brilliant manipulations, he manages to cure her. The world of mental illness and how it is handled in Italy are not seen through rose-colored glasses, here, and reviewers found tht what could have been a mere tear-jerker manages to be a convincing, gripping drama.

Get Out Your Handkerchiefs (French: Préparez vos mouchoirs) is a 1978 French romantic comedy film directed by Bertrand Blier and starring Carole Laure, Gérard Depardieu, Patrick Dewaere and Riton Liebman. The film won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 51st Academy Awards.

The film tells the story of a ménage à trois in which two men share a woman to cure her of an unexplained depression, with many symptoms. Eventually, she begins an affair with an underage boy. The film employs heavy references to historical musician Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, combined with the music of the film's composer Georges Delerue, who won the César Award for Best Original Music. Get Out Your Handkerchiefs was a critical success.

Solange is depressed: she's stopped smiling, she eats little, she says less. She has fainting fits. Her husband Raoul seeks to save her by enlisting Stephane, a stranger, to be her lover. Although he listens to Mozart and has every Pocket Book arranged in alphabetical order, Stephane fails to cheer Solange. She knits. She does housework. Everyone, including their neighbor a vegetable vendor, agrees that she needs a child, yet she fails to get pregnant by either lover. The three take a job running a kids' summer camp where they meet Christian, the precocious 13-year-old son of the local factory manager. It is Christian who restores Solange to laughter.
