Synopsis:
Pacific is the name of the building where the director lives, on the 18th floor. Also known as “the suicide tower”, it is a typical example of collective housing. In a subtle interplay between the interior and the exterior, between private and public areas, Angie Obeid reveals an alarming space that is closed on itself, even though the windows of the apartments offer a dizzying, suspended view.

26' • Portugal
Synopsis:
A Japanese man called Sushi sets off travelling in a camper that is the same age as him, in southern Portugal. He is looking for a legendary spring that could cure his broken heart. On the road, the door of his vehicle opens onto many encounters. Stumbling along, the people he meets and the drinks he shares will help him find his way and question what love is.

20' • Hungary
Synopsis:
Games of “socialist” Monopoly were played in the Soviet Union: for the Hungarian version, called “Manage your money wisely”, the first to furnish an apartment would win the game. Four players meet before Thiago Carvalhaes’s camera to throw the dice once again, reliving, through interspersed archives, their memory of communist Budapest and what it has become under Orban.
