‘Brahmastra’: Bollywood's Superhero Universe
Bollywood's new superhero universe is a romantic, fantasy, and action-packed journey of a young warrior who rises to save the world with superpowers.
Changing Room
Fritz is one of the most gifted young footballers at his local club. Renowned for nurturing talent, the club enjoys an outstanding reputation – those who make a name for themselves here stand a strong chance of attracting the interest of top-tier scouts. Fritz is the latest example of this.
On the eve of a crucial league match, he learns that he has indeed attracted attention. Yet, the news fails to bring him real joy. For some time now, Fritz has felt increasingly out of place in the world of football. The sport’s pervasive homophobia and ingrained sexism – which have also cast a shadow over his friendship with his teammate and closest friend, Elias – weigh heavily on him.
And so, just as he stands on the brink of achieving his lifelong dream Fritz finds himself contemplating walking away from it all. We follow him through this defining match – from the final training session to the halftime team talk and, ultimately, the victory celebrations – which may turn out to be his last.

'Grave of the Fireflies' is a Brutal, Heartbreaking Story of War
What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.
