    • On Tour: Katalin MOLDOVAI debut’s Without Air
      The debut feature film by Romanian director Katalin Moldovai comes to LHC Utrecht as part of the ENFF On Tour program. A seemingly innocent report triggers a chain of events that causes Ana, a high school teacher, to lose her footing in the world she once believed was secure.

I Never Cry

The great talent of new European cinema, who impressed with his debut “Silent Night”, Piotr Domalevski now deals with a drama on the exodus of the Polish population. With many of them having left Poland to work in north-western Europe, the film follows a life-changing journey into the consequences of living a life without a family.

Ola, a smart 17-year-old girl from a small city in Poland, is a “Euro-orphan” and sets off to a foreign country on her own. She must bring her father’s body back to Poland after he died working at a construction site in Ireland. But never mind her dad; Ola wants to know if he saved money for the car he had promised. It will turn out to be the trip of her lifetime, a trip into the unknown, a final opportunity to reconnect with her estranged father. In Ireland, she will come to know a different world and meet people who will change her approach to life. The director Domalevski is called the “Ken Loach of East European cinema” by critics because of his talent for nuanced analyses of characters from working class families, given often with a great sense of humour, as well as love for each of his film heroes.
