The seventh day of the Festival will feature stories in which a single word rules: courage. Among fictional and real-life stories, fighting in the name of justice against all forms of crime is the only thing that counts for the young protagonists. The Generator +16 jurors will start the day in the theatre at 10:00 a.m. with the screening of the film CRAJITA (Dominican Republic/Argentina 2021) directed by Silvina Schnicer and Ulises Porra. Yarisa, an housekeeper employed by a wealthy family, returns to her hometown with her employers and reunites with her original family, albeit being considered little more than a stranger. Turning the tables will be a tragedy unfolding in one night.
Next, at 2:30 p.m., the members of the Generator +13 section will watch COMEDY QUEEN (Sweden 2022) directed by Sanna Lenken. After her mother commits suicide, the 13-year-old Sasha refuses to cry despite her grief. In order to exorcise it, she decides to become a cabaret performer, so as not to make people stop smiling, especially her father. Meanwhile, in the Sala Sordi, Elements +10 jurors at 10:00 a.m. and then again at 2.30 p.m. will watch THE PATH (Germany) directed by Tobias Wiemann. In 1940, Rolf and his dog Adi, together with his father Ludwig, escape from the Nazis to New York to visit Rolf's mother.
