It is the mid-1940s in Rome, and this is an ordinary family living in a city that struggles to find a balance between the positive momentum triggered by the Liberation and the misery the war left in its aftermath.
Delia sees a suitable wedding for her daughter as a life goal. Until one day, a mysterious letter arrives and fires up her courage to overturn all plans and start wishing for a better life, not only for herself.

How many strangers can squeeze into a car?
When they truly share the journey, no matter how tightly packed inside a moving vehicle, those within cease to be strangers, as one of New German Cinema’s most refined and perceptive voices suggests.
Five individuals, hailing from diverse national backgrounds but united by a common geographic destination, embark on a journey across the heart of Europe, following the highway that links Berlin to Paris. Even as the horizon stretches wide and the car seats feel cramped, they will discover what it means to find their way through obstacles – if not due to them – during this unique journey that serves as a metaphor for the significance of coexistence in times of crisis.
A film brimming with affection for the future of Europe, celebrating the Old Continent’s reawakening to the importance of emotional connection.

Duration: 119′
Production Year, Country: 2023 France

Subtitles: English, Greek
Rating: 13+
Simon (Denis Podalydes), a well-known French filmmaker, starts shooting his next film. A story about workers fighting to protect their factory from being relocated. But nothing goes as planned…
His producer Viviane (Emmanuelle Bercot) wants to rewrite the ending and is threatening to cut the budget; his own crew goes on strike; his personal life is in shambles; and to make things worse, his lead actor Alain (Jonathan Cohen) is an egocentric jerk. Joseph (Stefan Crepon), an extra who wants to get into the film industry, agrees to direct the Making Of and shoot the behind-the-scenes. He takes his role very seriously and starts following around the crew, capturing all this mess…
What follows is proof that the Making Of can sometimes be far better than the film itself.
