The adventures of a group of kids who spend the summer near Marseille diving from the Corniche Kennedy, a road that runs along the sea; a policewoman tasked to oversee that part of the coast observes them with her binoculars.

Fúsi (Virgin Mountain) by Dagur Kári, screening
Iceland, Denmark 2015, 94′, ‘, col., o.v. sub. it.
43-years-old Fúsi still lives with his mother. Fat, clumsy, quiet and a bit of a recluse, Fúsi is forced to step out of his comfort zone and into the dark when a young woman with a  messed-up life and an 8-years-old daughter come unexpectedly into his life. A delicate film, very smoothly built around the nuances of its main character.
