Johanna, a fragile girl, winds up in an elite special forces unit, comprised exclusively of men.

This situation doesn’t suit Eugène – the division commander and a fierce misogynist. He is convinced that there’s nothing for women to do in the special forces, and tries any way he can to dispense of his freshly-minted charge. The antipathy between them grows into a real fight of ambitions, and gradually, they begin to recognize each other better and better… A new comedy by Dany Boon, the mind behind the film “Welcome to the Sticks” / Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis, one of the biggest French box office successes in history.

Documentary. France, Germany, USA 2016, 90 min. Directed by Terrence Malick. In English with Russian subtitles. Terrence Malick’s monumental documentary project, dedicated to the history of the Universe – from the birth of the stars until the appearance of life and beginning of humanity. The project was conceived of by the director in the 1970s, but fully realized only last year: it premiered at the Venice Film Festival. A variety of colors, the rotation of the planets, the eruption of volcanoes and the appearance of life from nothing: as Malick himself assures, this is one of his greatest dreams. The film is narrated by Cate Blanchett.
