Men Don’t Cry<br />
Less than two decades since<br />
the war ended in Yugoslavia,<br />
a diverse group of veterans<br />
gathers at a remote mountain<br />
hotel to undergo days of<br />
therapy. This is about the<br />
ability to forgive others<br />
only after we have forgiven<br />
ourselves.<br />
The Midwife<br />
The unlikely friendship that<br />
develops between Claire, a<br />
talented but tightly wound<br />
midwife, and Batrice, the<br />
estranged, free-spirited<br />
mistress of Claire’s late father.<br />
Though polar opposites in<br />
almost every way, the two<br />
come to rely on each other<br />
as they cope with the unusual<br />
circumstances.<br />
