The sensational case of the Berlin Film Festival and one of the best films of 2025 will have its Finnish premiere at Karhupuisto. In Mexican Michel Franco's shocking drama, cultures clash gently and violently. The romance between a wealthy American philanthropist and an undocumented Mexican ballet dancer (Isaac Hernández), played by Jessica Chastain, moves the viewer across borders and into different ways of life from San Francisco to Mexico City.

Discussion before the screening: “New Walls and Class Divisions” 19:00-20:00 - with movie ticket
