Magnifique, candide et attachant, Diamantino est l’icône planétaire du football, un héros flamboyant touché par la grâce. Quand soudain, en pleine Coupe du Monde, son génie s’envole dans les vapeurs roses de ses visions magiques, sa carrière est stoppée net. Problème : il ne connaît rien d’autre. La star déchue, devenue objet de risée nationale, découvre alors le monde – les autres. Le voilà embarqué dans maintes péripéties qui mutent en odyssée : conspiration familiale (ses deux sœurs n’en veulent qu’à sa fortune), manipulations génétiques délirantes, crise des réfugiés, complotisme de l’extrême-droite… Et, au beau milieu de cette tragédie, où son chat semble être son dernier supporter, pourtant, surgit l’Amour. Le vrai. C’était écrit.

ANTONIA’S LINE (ANTONIA) by Marleen Gorris | Netherlands, Belgium, France, UK, 1995 | fiction 102 min | Dutch with German subtitles
EN: A strong-willed Dutch woman recalls her life in this uplifting picture. Antonia is an elderly woman who wakes up one morning and realizes that this is the last day of her life. She begins to tell her story in flashbacks, beginning with her return to the family farm after World War II with her daughter, Danielle. For the next fifty years, a variety of colorful characters come and go on the farm. Danielle becomes a painter, and decides she wants a child but no husband, so Antonia arranges the proper donation. Danielle gives birth to Therese, who later has her own child, Sarah, also without a husband. Antonia and her descendants come to symbolize the freedom of independent females, with little need for men in their lives.
FR: A 90 ans, allongée sur son lit, Antonia se souvient du jour où, peu après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, elle est revenue dans son village natal, au cœur de la campagne hollandaise. Très vite, son tempérament et celui de ses filles troublent la tranquillité des paysans du cru. La ferme d’Antonia devient un refuge pour les originaux et les vagabonds de passage. Malgré l’animosité, les préjugés et les rancœurs de certains, Antonia et ses filles parviendront à faire triompher leur amour de la vie tout en préservant leur indépendance.

FtWTF – FEMALE TO WHAT THE FUCK
NEXT SCREENING ON NOVEMBER 6TH at ROTONDES, 19h – COME AND BRING YOUR FRIENDS!
FtWTF – FEMALE TO WHAT THE FUCK by Cordula Thym and Katharina Lampert | Austria 2015 | documentary 92 min | German with English Subtitles
The documentary FtWTF is a precise encounter with the theme of gender transgression, whereby the gender border is crossed in the same direction each time: from a specific starting point (female/woman) to a temporarily open end point („what the fuck“). The filmmakers portray six people who for different reasons take on a transgender identity and live it out in different and changing ways.
In talks that are serious yet nonetheless not anxious, which draw us in, the protagonists confront the conditions, consequences, and sometimes also bizarre circumstances of their decision. The way they do so is disarmingly open and often humorous, in a manner that is amazing to see. Due to the gorgeous images, deep insights into gender construction and sexuality are communicated with ease; and the protagonists‘ obvious trust in the film project can be attributed to the directors‘ impressive expertise.
