“Forbidden Fruits” (2026)
Not every film can make a shopping mall feel both magical and menacing, but Forbidden Fruits challenges that.

In war-torn Ukraine, every day may be your last. The constant threat of annihilation has shaped Maria and Sasha’s intense yet tender relationship. But Sasha must return to the front line with his battalion in the morning. Maria, as his mistress, contemplates a heart-wrenching decision: go with him to the war, risking everything to have a few more precious moments with him; or stay in Kyiv knowing that, dead or alive, he will always belong to his family.

Many of the songs that rose him to fame were songs by Black artists he heard growing up in primarily Black settings.
