111 min.
Following the death of their father, seven siblings return home after years apart. While her brothers seek to divide and sell the family property, Zerin refuses to surrender the inheritance she has earned through years of sacrifice. Her resistance ignites a conflict that exposes hidden secrets, shifting loyalties, and traditions that have shaped the family for generations. Set in Southeastern Anatolia, Kirpilerin Savaşi / The Battle of Hedgehogs is an intimate and emotionally charged family drama about justice, belonging, and the courage to challenge inherited rules.
Val Jashari
Kosovo - Montenegro
103 min.
For three years, Albanian-American fugitive Zeka has hidden in Prishtina, running a bar with fellow exiles. Speaking English and romanticizing New York, they sustain the illusion of lives left behind. That illusion collapses when an extradition treaty triggers a violent police raid. Cornered, Zeka leaps onto Vlora's balcony-a woman from a remote village trying to disappear for reasons of her own. Both confined in a tight space, strangers to one another, they begin to face all that they have suppressed, setting off on an unexpected journey toward redemption.

Prvi tjedan u kolovozu / The First Week of August is a family drama centered around the summer vacation of a middle-class married couple, Zoran and Ivana, a journalist who, after experiencing psychological trauma, unexpectedly and violently attacks their ten-year-old son, David, while slowly beginning to lose control over his behavior. As the vacation progresses, deeper issues in the relationship between Zoran and Ivana begin to surface, and these problems eventually extend to their interactions with the four-member family of their neighbors.

110 min.
Lia, once a promising actress, unexpectedly returns to her drought-stricken homeland in rural Portugal. She expects an empty house, but finds her family gathered to receive her. Startled, she hides in the pantry, overhearing unsettling remarks, until she finally slips away, postponing the confrontation. While the children's excitement fills the house, tension builds among the adults, unable to face their own wounds. Against a landscape marked by drought and decay, Lia drifts between distance and belonging until a fragile reunion forces them all to confront unfulfilled dreams, inherited fractures, and the desperate longing for connection.
