A brilliant feel good comedy by Leticia Dolera!. Directed & written by Leticia Dolera Everybody tries to fit in, but few people go about it as methodically as Maria de la Montana (writer-director Leticia Dolera), who hopes to reach normality through a 7-item checklist. Her mentally challenged younger brother (Jordi Llorda) and overweight friend (Manuel Burque) seem to have most of the bases covered, and the success of Maria's quest may boil down to just being herself. Brightly colored and boasting a jangly folk score by Luthea Salmon, this romantic comedy is, as one might home from its title, charmingly eccentric. Winner of Best New Screenwriter, Cinematography and Editing Awards at the Málaga Spanish Film Festival. Introduction by actor Miky Esparbé & Discussion following the film.  9:45 PM "MAGICAL GIRL" Directed by Carlos Vermut Luis (Luis Bermejo) has a 12-year-old daughter with a terminal illness and a last wish – to have a dress just like the main character of her favorite Japanese anime series.

Carlos Vermut’s prize winning haunting drama. A chain of blackmails to speak about love,desire, obsession & the relationship between human beings and their darker side.
