Omschrijving
When Olga is forced by financial hardship to rent out a room in her home, a man moves in, secretly bringing along his nine-year-old son. Struggling with loneliness and his own worries, the boy unexpectedly forms a bond with Olga. As his father tries to rebuild his life, a remarkable relationship slowly develops between Olga and the child, and the lives of all three become increasingly intertwined.
Moscas was selected for the Main Competition of the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival. It received the second-highest rating from the international film critics covering the festival, making it one of the standout discoveries of this year’s Berlinale. Despite this international acclaim, Moscas has not yet secured Dutch distribution. We are therefore especially proud to present this remarkable film at the 013 International Film Festival.
On our opening night, we welcome Mexican screenwriter Vanesa Garnica as our special guest. After the screening, she will talk about how Moscas came about, the writing process, and the film’s main themes.
“A simple, sweet, emotionally resonant black-and-white charmer.” – The Hollywood Reporter
