drugie życie + Schody do spełnienia

Opis filmu

Po seansie zapraszamy na spotkanie z reżyserem filmu "Schody do spełnienia". W wieku 9 lat Akram wyszła za mąż za Heydara, aby większość życia spędzić - zgodnie z ortodoksyjną tradycją szyicką - w nieomal kompletnej izolacji, we wspólnym domu, bez podstawowego wykształcenia, w całkowitym uzależnieniu od charyzmatycznego męża. Po kilku latach małżeństwa posłała własne dzieci do szkół. Gdy pomagała im w pracach plastycznych odkryła w sobie irracjonalną potrzebę malowania. Zaczęła przenosić na płótno senne wizje, alegoryczne obrazy, przedstawiające jej rodzinę, a także artykułować własne codzienne emocje w prymitywnej artystycznie formie. Mąż Heydar nigdy nie był zadowolony z wieloletniej pracy żony nad płótnami, ale prawdziwy problem pojawił się dopiero wówczas, gdy nieoczekiwanie Akram - dziś już staruszkę - zaproszono na wystawę jej prac w znanej galerii w Paryżu. R.G. Akram, an illiterate Iranian woman, shows us that true talent will always refuse to be stifled, and that you don't need an education to understand, to feel, and to paint. She discovered her talent quite by chance at the age of 50, when she was helping her grandson with his homework. The magic of painting holds an irresistible appeal for this uneducated woman who was married off at the age of nine to the then 28-year-old Heydar, and has had to stand on our own two feet ever since. When her authoritarian spouse is out, Akram paints as if her life depends on it. She then hides the primitive, colorful, and expressive paintings under the carpet. But then her "hobby" is discovered and an exhibition of her work is organized in Paris. The rules dictate that she must ask her husband's permission to go to the opening, but she puts this off for as long as she can. The camera remains in Akram's home as she paints and squabbles with the cynical Heydar, who thinks she is wasting too much paint. DRUGIE ŻYCIE A.P. On May 12, 2008, the Chinese province of Sichuan was struck by a devastating earthquake that killed almost 70,000 people. Among them were 5,000 school-aged children. The Next Life is about the enormous sorrow of parents who lost their child - often their only child. Ye Hongmei's eight-year-old daughter, who was in school at the time of the disaster, died in the earthquake. For Ye, it's virtually impossible to process her grief and get on with her life. She is now dead - set on getting pregnant again, believing that it's the only way to happiness. A new child - and definitely a daughter - will give her and her husband the feeling that their lost child has returned, and they will once again have direction in life. But getting pregnant isn't the easiest thing for 40-year-old Ye, especially now that there's so much pressure to make it happen. The film follows her during repeated in vitro fertilization treatments and in conversation with other unfortunate couples, with the rebuilding of their city as the backdrop.
