Synopsis
Beyond Limits: Into the ADHD Mind: Rising Above Failure
Recently diagnosed with ADHD, Simon Blair confronts self-doubt and past failures in the grueling Marathon des Sables. As the desert tests his mind and body, can he turn his diagnosis into an advantage or will it hold him back?
Like an Island
For mysterious reasons, two watchmen are made to guard access to the river in an area of Lausanne where retirees and immigrant families live. Through the different people they encounter, a territory takes shape and a friendship is born. Tizian Büchi creates a fable—part documentary, part fiction and tinged with magical realism—to subtly question our surveillance society.
