In Ferlach, a small town in Carinthia, gunsmithing has a centuries-old tradition. Even today, many workshops still manufacture luxury hunting weapons for the global market. Against the backdrop of a region marked by conflicts over the two everyday languages, Slovenian and German, different narratives unfold: about the resistance struggle of the partisans, about the Nazi era, about the effects of globalization—and the dark experiences of the Slovenian ethnic minority.


Frede Rasmussen is a 79-year old man from rural Lolland who has decided, late in life, to seek love as an openly gay man.

From creating a dating profile to placing personal ads and going on hopeful yet awkward dates, the documentary tenderly captures his vulnerability, humor, and resilience. Blending warmth with quiet social commentary, the film explores aging, loneliness, and the universal desire for intimacy—proving it is never too late to search for connection.

Tennis is a way for Alexander Bublik to express himself. It is not his entire being or identity. Instead, he introduces himself as a, “full-time father and a part-time tennis player”, a description that reflects the 28-year-old’s priorities and his playful approach to the sport in which he has earned more than $10 million in prize money. Bublik is largely unpredictable and vastly entertaining. He maintains a sharp sense of humour on court, allowing him to freely enjoy the game without letting fierce competition consume his life. Tennis, for Bublik, is both a stage and a playground — a place for him to take risks, embrace creativity and find joy.

For German national coach Harry Kreis the twelve months leading up to the final nominations of his olympic squad are equally exciting and stressful - a period plagued with difficult decisions and sleepless nights. A young team falters at the world championships, struggling under the pressure of the big stage, while older statesmen wait in the wings ready to replace them. The start of the domestic season offers a chance to impress the head coach, but the intense schedule heightens the risk of injury. Ultimately it's up to coach Kreis to make the final cut: who will play and who will be left at home?
