Kidnapped: The Abduction of Edgardo Mortara (2023)

Undine is a young woman with a degree in urban history who gives guided tours about the development of Berlin. She works freelance and lives in a small, impersonal flat. As ordinary as her city life may seem, her secret weighs heavily. When she is left by her boyfriend for another woman, she is caught up in a curse that would mean death for one person and a farewell to earthly existence for another. But Undine resists her destiny. At the moment of betrayal, Christoph appears and she falls in love with him. He is an industrial diver and shows her his underwater world - which she already knows. And which is part of her secret and the curse she can't seem to escape. Undine is young, but has an old, mythical name. In the myth, she lives in a forest lake, a beautiful, virginal nymph. A man who steps onto the shore of the lake and calls her name becomes her wife. If the man betrays love, he must die - Undine will kill him. The Undine in the film is light and clever and stubborn.

Undine (2020)

An epic journey of friendship and self-discovery set in the breathtaking Italian Alps, The Eight Mountains is a landmark cinematic experience as intimate as it is monumental, as deep as it is expansive. Adapting the award-winning novel by Paolo Cognetti, directors Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch (The Broken Circle Breakdown) portray through observant detail and stunning landscape photography the profound, complex relationship between Pietro (Luca Marinelli) and Bruno (Alessandro Borghi), who first meet as children when Pietro's Turin family vacations in an isolated village at the base of the Alpine slopes. As they mature, Pietro becomes estranged from his business-minded father (Filippo Timi) even as Bruno-emotionally abandoned by his own father-takes up the role of surrogate son. Pietro's father's death reunites the two in realizing his dream of constructing a cabin on the Alps, and the project and subsequent explorations of the awe-inspiring mountain range bond Pietro and Bruno in a shared purpose. Yet despite their connection, the purity of nature and the demands of society both threaten to drive the men to pursue different, possibly irrevocably divergent paths on the vertiginous terrain of life. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.
