L'albero delle pere / Shooting the Moon. 1998.
 Shooting the Moon (Italian: L'albero delle pere) is a 1998 Italian drama film directed by Francesca Archibugi. It entered the competition at the 59th Venice International Film Festival, in which Niccolò Senni won the Marcello Mastroianni Award.
Fourteen-year-old Siddharta lives in Rome with his mother, Silvia - an affectionate, rambling, though shifty woman. She does not work. She lives by her wits, her friendships, her relationships. She's separated from Siddharta's father, Massimo, who does his best to help them. With Roberto she has a five-year-old daughter, Domitilla, who lives with her own father, from whom Silvia is also estranged. The two siblings love each other very much. Domitilla moves in for the Christmas holidays, and, one day while rummaging among her mother's trousse, gets hurt by a syringe. Emotional turmoil ensues. Siddharta has to live on in spite of his parents' mis-doings. He sends Domitilla to do HIV, HBV and HCV tests without their parents' knowledge. Hence, he has to use his own name. That causes unexpected trouble.

Sixten / Dancing Feet. 1994.

Sixten / Dancing Feet. 1994.
 SE. Sixten är en svensk dramafilm från 1994 i regi av Catti Edfeldt.
13-årige Sixten bor med sin ensamstående och överbeskyddande pappa som arbetar som busschaufför på nätterna. Tillsammans med Jonte tar Sixten fram en plan att få pappan på andra tankar, kanske behöver han en riktig kvinna.
Filmen premiärvisades 16 september 1994. Den filmades av Rolf Lindström och bygger på Ulf Starks roman Sixten som utgavs 1987. I samband med filmens premiär återutgavs boken i omskriven form. I amerikanska Variety oroade man sig för att den skulle komma att barnförbjudas på grund av det inklippta samlagsavsnittet från filmen Ur kärlekens språk.
EN. Sixten lives with his divorced father. His mother lives in Copenhagen and never visits them. In order to help his father to find a new wife, Sixten answers lonely-heart ads in the papers which leads to some unexpected meetings with strange women. At the same time Sixten discovers his own sexuality and has a summer romance with a girl at school. Comedy and drama on the pains of growing up.
Director: Catti Edfeldt.
Cast: Peter Viitanen, Hans Henriksson, Jonas Magnusson, Marie Thulin, Ing-Marie Carlsson, Kalle Stridbeck, Erik Lagerström, Magnus Nilsson, Anna-Lena Brundin.

Eu Me Lembro / I Remember. 2005.

Eu Me Lembro / I Remember. 2005.
PT. Filme Eu me lembro (2005), de Edgard Navarro, no qual o diretor, em um trabalho de recuperação da memória pessoal e da geração a que pertence, tece uma rede intertextual e polifônica, a partir de apropriações, empréstimos e citações de obras e autores inscritos em territórios expressionais e momentos históricos diversos. Assemelhando-se a uma colcha de retalhos, o filme se apresenta como uma tessitura de elementos apanhados na tradição e corresponde a um exemplo privilegiado da maneira pela qual se dá a produção artística na contemporaneidade.
EN. Guiga, born in the city of Salvador, at a provincial time, he discovers sexuality and its limits in contact with her mother, Aurora. With his father, Guilherme, fearsome, austere and exacerbated Puritan, will live many conflicts. He grows up driven by Catholic guilt, marked by his mother's death even before adolescence. As a young man, the protagonist is angry at his father and, during the military dictatorship, lives its most active phase.
Director: Edgard Navarro.
Cast: Lucas Valadares, Fernando Neves, Arly Arnaud, Valderez Freitas Teixeira, Wilson Mello, Rita Assemany, Fernando Fulco, Analu Tavares, Nélia Carvalho, Eva Lima, Caco Monteiro, George Vassilatos, Lúcio Tranchesi.
