2023 | B/N | 141:00

Bella Baxter is a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter. Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she lacks, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn, a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind cross-continental adventure. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.

The Lobster

In the near future, all single people are arrested and transferred to the Hotel. There they have 45 days to find the perfect mate. If they fail, they are transformed into an animal of their choosing and released into the woods. To escape this fate, a man flees to the woods, where he joins the Loners, a resistance group – and where, in violation of their rules, he finally falls in love.
