Women without men
The five heroines of "Women without men" are ordinary Ukrainian women - mothers, daughters, wives who have fled because of the war. Women from all corners of Ukraine. They probably would have never met in their lives if fate hadn't brought these women together in Latvia. How they decided to go to a foreign land, how they got out of the territories occupied and bombed by Russia, how they were greeted in their new lives, how to find a place in this new reality, how to be alone in charge of everything, to find a place to live, a job. How to deal with your internal crisis, how not to go crazy longing for your home. What to say to your own children, what it means to hear from a husband once a day at a certain agreed time and what happens if he doesn't call. How to find the strength to continue... They seek answers to these questions as they try to learn to learn to live anew.

Lagunas
A teacher with a blank notebook -the great Liliana Bodoc- arrives at a school in the middle of the desert behind the trail of the Huarpes. As in her books, Bodoc speaks to the children frankly about important things—water, the wind, death. Although, rather than speaking to them, she asks them—she looks into their stories and invites them to give shape to their ideas. But Lagunas is not exactly a documentary about Liliana Bodoc; it’s about lots of things—about the ghosts that inhabit a territory, about the bridges between generations, about memory. In Lagunas there are curious children, there are teachers and shamans, there are bodies buried in the sand, there is a culture and a language that refuse to become extinct. There is a filmmaker who, as he records, asks himself about his memories and about the memories he is leaving to his children. And there is also a writer who proves that in order to write, first you have to know how to listen.
