The stars of Hollywood in a new collection of short films, from the creators of “Paris, I Love You” and “New York, I Love You.” A declaration of love to one of the most exciting, dynamic cities in the world: 11 stories filmed by directors from different countries about people who live in Berlin or come there for a short time. They are all brought together by one thing: the search for true love, which can take all kinds of forms. Some find feelings again after suffering a loss or break-up. Some dive into a world of fantasy. Some protagonists deal with problems of parental or family love, while others engage in the endless, yet forever different battle of the sexes. But Berlin is ready to accept everyone — you just have to open your heart to it.

Drama. Denmark, Norway, Sweden 2019, 123 min. Directed by Hans Petter Moland. Starring: Tobias Santelmann, Danica Curcic, Stellan Skarsgard, Bjorn Floberg. In Norwegian with Russian subtitles. On the eve of the new millennium, Trond Sander leaves Oslo for the countryside. The year comes to the end, and the loneliness is unbearable. Only the demons of the past are catching up Trond more and more insistently. But one day, Sander meets an old acquaintance who makes him return to his youth in his memories — a place where the bright colors of summer and glorious wild horses served as the scenery for his first terrifying experience with another person’s death. A place where joy is intertwined with betrayal and disappointment, and where personal tragedies and the happiest moments in life all began.

Biography, Comedy, Crime. Canada, USA 2018, 92 min. Directed by Robert Budreau. Starring: Ethan Hawke, Noomi Rapace, Mark Strong. In English with Russian subtitles. Stockholm is based on the absurd but true story of a 1973 bank heist and hostage crisis. The film follows Lars Nystrom, (Ethan Hawke) who dons a disguise to raid a central Stockholm bank. He then takes hostages in order to spring his pal Gunnar (Mark Strong) from prison. One of the hostages includes Bianca (Noomi Rapace), a wife and mother of two. As hours turn into days, Lars alternates between threatening the hostages and making them feel comfortable and secure. The hostages develop an uneasy relationship with their captor, which is particularly complex for Bianca, who develops a strong bond with Lars as she witnesses his caring nature. This connection gave rise to the psychological phenomenon known as "Stockholm syndrome".
