r. F. Eimbcke, MX, 2026, Czech subtitles, 12, fear, 99 min.

 Fifty-year-old Olga lives in a meticulously tidy apartment in the middle of Mexico City and, apart from her noisy neighbours, has everything firmly under control. That is, until circumstances force her to rent out a spare room. But her new roommate doesn't come alone - he secretly brings his nine-year-old son Cristiano with him. Olga initially reacts negatively to the presence of the little intruder, but to her surprise, she gradually finds her way to the boy.
