Sofia works as a location scout for a network TV show shooting in New York City. It’s her job to find the homes, businesses, and exteriors where the soon-to-be-shot show will take place.
This means a daily journey into the private spaces and lives of numerous city residents, photographing their properties and briefly stepping into the fabric of their lives. Over the course of a day filled with these encounters, Sofia plays witness to moments of curiosity, vulnerability, and quiet tension, until her work takes a sudden, personal turn.
THE SCOUT is a contemplative exploration of urban disconnection, following one woman’s quiet journey through other people’s worlds as she struggles to find her own.

Not Rated
Director: Paweł Pawlikowski
Writers: Paweł Pawlikowski, Henk Handloegten
Stars: Sandra Hüller, Hanns Zischler, August Diehl
FATHERLAND centers on the relationship between the Nobel Prize-winning writer Thomas May (Hans Zischler) and his daughter Erika (Sandra Hüller) — actress, writer and rally driver. In the summer of 1949, at the height of the Cold War, father and daughter embark on a challenging and emotional road trip in a black Buick taking them across a Germany in ruins — from US dominated Frankfurt to Soviet controlled Weimar.
Returning home after sixteen years in exile in the US, Thomas Mann has to face not only a divided fatherland, but also a deep fracture within his own family. With FATHERLAND, Pawlikowski picks up where he left off with his award-winning IDA and COLD WAR, exploring — in his elliptic, distilled style — the themes of identity, family, love and guilt amid the turmoil and confusion of post-war Europe.

bitter christmas (NEW)
2026 | Spain | 1h 51m | Drama, Comedy
Rated R
Director: Pedro Almodóvar
Writers: Pedro Almodóvar
Stars: Bárbara Lennie, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón
Bitter Christmas tells two alternating stories, one starring Elsa, an advertising director, in 2004, during a long weekend in December. The second takes place in 2026 and stars Raúl, a screenwriter and director who is writing a script that we soon discover is the story of Elsa, her boyfriend Bonifacio, and her friends Patricia and Natalia.
Mixed with fiction, Elsa is, in a way, Raúl’s alter ego, who, like him, resorts to autofiction as a solution to a long period of creative drought. He looks inside himself, and he can’t help but also look at the people who make up his most intimate universe: his partner and his assistant. The film narrates the close relationship between reality and fiction, between inspiration and life, exploring the limits of autofiction and stories within stories.
