But the grandmother, fearing grave consequences, intends to return the granddaughter to the hands of justice ...

 FI. H.C. Andersenin samannimiseen teokseen perustuva elokuva kertoo Kertun matkasta Kain luokse lumoavan Lumikuningattaren valtakuntaan. Lumikuningatar hamuaa viimeistä Vihreää Kiveä kruunuunsa voidakseen hallita koko maailmaa, mutta hän voi saavuttaa herruuden vasta Kain avustuksella. Ystävästään huolestunut Kerttu lähtee pitkälle ja vaarojen täyteiselle matkalle, löytääkseen ystävänsä tykö ja viedäkseen tämän takaisin kotiin. Kertun tarina muuttuu nuoren tytön kasvutarinaksi ja matkaksi aikuisuuteen.
Hartzellin ohjaama ja käsikirjoittama Lumikuningatar oli aikanaan poikkeuksellisen suuri tuotanto, kokonaiskustannusten noustessa yli 6 miljoonaan markkaan. Elokuva voitti Jussi-palkinnon parhaasta visuaalisesta suunnittelusta (Reija Hirvikoski) ja musiikista (Jukka Linkola), ja elokuva valittiin myös Suomen Oscar-ehdokkaaksi.

She has inserted a sliver of her own special ice into the eye of the boy, so that his heart will turn to ice and will be a proper match for hers.

Suddenly the father starts hanging out with Mette and her friends as they practice winter sports together - and there is hardly anything stranger, or more embarrassing, as far as Mette is concerned.

Bastard Out of Carolina. 1996. HD.

Bastard Out of Carolina. 1996. HD.
Bastard Out of Carolina is a 1996 American drama film made by Showtime Networks, directed by Anjelica Huston. It is based on a novel by Dorothy Allison and adapted for the screen by Anne Meredith. Jena Malone stars in her debut as a poor, physically abused and sexually molested girl.
In 1997 the theatrical and video releases of the film were banned by Canada's Maritime Film Classification Board. The video was eventually granted release upon appeal.
In post-WWII South Carolina, a young woman named Anney gives birth to an illegitimate child, nicknamed Bone. A few years later, Anney marries the seemingly decent Glen, who does not get along with Bone. Annie's miscarriage of a boy enrages her husband, who, behind his wife's back, begins to physically abuse Bone on a regular basis. After Anney discovers what her husband has been doing, she leaves Glen. But her need for a man's love eventually compels her to return to Glen, setting the stage for a heinous incident between Glen and his stepdaughter. As a result, a rift forms between mother and daughter -- that may never be healed. A made-for-cable adaptation of Dorothy Allison's best-selling novel. Anjelica Huston makes her directorial debut.
Director: Anjelica Huston.
Cast: Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ron Eldard, Glenne Headly, Lyle Lovett, Jena Malone, Dermot Mulroney, Christina Ricci, Michael Rooker, Diana Scarwid, Susan Traylor, Grace Zabriskie, Richard Todd Sullivan.

Vito e gli altri / Vito and the Others. 1991. DVD.
IT. Durante una notte di Capodanno un uomo improvvisamente impazzito senza nessuna ragione massacra la sua famiglia uccidendo la moglie e uno dei suoi due figli e risparmiando l'altro, il dodicenne Vito, che viene affidato ad una zia e al marito di questa, un fabbricante di fuochi d'artificio. Per tirare avanti la zia è costretta a spacciare droga servendosi della propria figlia e di Vito, che viene lasciato crescere senza alcuna guida. Vito vive nella strada cominciando la sua personale discesa nella degradazione morale e sociale: furti, scippi, spaccio di droga, rapine, prostituzione. Comincia a frequentare le carceri dove affina il suo carattere criminale confrontandosi con i suoi compagni di pena che stanno compiendo lo stesso suo percorso che lo porterà a diventare sicario della camorra.
EN.  Vito and the Others is the groundbreaking film which drew international attention to the problem of neglected youth and street crime in poverty-stricken Naples. The film's opening moments are startling and deeply disturbing. A despairing Rosario has just murdered his wife and daughter at the dinner table on New Year's Eve. Somehow, Vito quietly convinces his father to drop the gun, spare their lives and call the police. Placed in the custody of sexually abusive relatives, Vito is left free to roam the trash-strewn back streets of Naples where he and his friends engage in drug abuse, prostitution and petty crime. Ably acted by a large cast of nonprofessional street kids, VITO AND THE OTHERS is a heartrending portrait of innocents without a future.
Director: Antonio Capuano.

Nine Meals From Chaos / Nueve Comidas Lejos Del Caos. 2018. HD.

Nine Meals From Chaos / Nueve Comidas Lejos Del Caos. 2018. HD.
ES. Ocho años después de un cataclismo, la raza humana, de la que sólo ha sobrevivido una de cada diez personas, ha perdido todas sus estructuras sociales. Nuevo proyecto de Iván Noel, parcialmente inspirado en "El señor de las moscas".
EN. What really happens after war or disease eventually wipes out most of humanity? Leaving aside fables of mass zombie invasion, or vigilante groups magically armed with assault weapons: how would humans actually re-group? How would they act when attempting to survive? How indeed would human morality and modern taboos fare in this probable scenario? This daring film will attempt to answer this as realistically as possible, making films like 'Lord of the Flies' look like a family camping trip.
Eight years after a cataclysm and disease ravaged the human race - leaving just one in every ten surviving -, all social structures have crumbled like sand castles. Too few still live for anything to have been reconstructed. All remaining animals have been consumed and no sowing has yet been possible. It is Man at his most basic, destitute level.
Two groups  inhabit the desolate and abandoned land: packs of orphaned children in a feral state, living a nomadic life-style for their safety, and adults (with their offspring), barely surviving any better by living off their meat.
It is a war only the most desperate of the two will win.
Director: Iván Noel.
Cast: Tatiana Gonzales Bozzetto, Joaquin Brizuela, Oscar Mira, Zoe Osan, Emanuel Renzini, Rosana Rossotti, Ismael Stampone, Thiago Stampone.
