♦ Forgiveness **
ofBehtash Sanaeeha and Maryam Moghaddam
Iranian movie, 1 h 45
Mina fights for the rehabilitation of her husband, sentenced to death when he was innocent when she receives help from Reza, a man who claims to be a former friend of the deceased.

by Guillaume Canet
French film, 1 h 28
A composer for the cinema, Guillaume Canet left his wife and children in Paris to write the music commissioned by a British filmmaker. Between two battling calls to his wife, he summons by thought all his relatives who immediately appear in the house, as well as a duplicate of himself.
