Novak now has to navigate late-middle age on his own and figure out a new identity for himself, an unenviable situation for anyone in the waning years of their life. As he embraces a new-found hobby — stand-up comedy — he discovers that the best way to approach the scary unknowns and tough spots of Life is to laugh.

In the wake of their mother’s death, Nora and Agnes, two sisters who have been estranged from one another for some time, are forced to reconcile with their father, Gustav, whose demanding career as a filmmaker caused him to abandon his family many years ago. The two women have little in common – Nora, like her father, chose a career in show business as an actress; while Agnes instead chose the more stable path of a mother and professional. Gustav, now nearly forgotten as a director, has been developing a new film project – one that deals with unpleasant family memories – that he hopes will reclaim his status in the film industry and he asks daughter Nora to take the starring role. It could be that this project could represent the stones by which Gustav can rebuild the bridge to the only family he has left.

About the film
Blending genres, provoking awareness about socio-political issues, and adding a healthy dose of weirdness, Bacurau has been wowing critics and audiences alike since its release in 2019!
A small community in rural Brazil comes together to for a funeral to pay their respects to Carmelita, considered by all to be the elder matriarch of the village. After the event takes place, however, strange things begin to happen: the village seems to have disappeared from online maps and satellite photos, strange people visit the out-of-the-way location, and the villagers witness what they think to be a UFO sighting. Moreover, an ongoing water dispute with a wealthy city up-river brings unforeseen violence to the community when the corrupt mayor of the wealthy city arrives to secure the electoral support from the villagers. The villagers are forced to take up arms and defend their humble farms and traditional way of life.
