Today's heroes are moving unstoppably towards their goals, perhaps leaving a few bloody noses in their wake, all in truly admirable performances.

PÖFF brings to this dark and cloudy Tuesday shining stars from the stage, revolutionary thinkers of architecture and, as a special dose of inspiration, some stories of getting back to life including a father deep in mid life crisis returning to his wild roots.

Explore the rest of PÖFF today here.

Reflection
Nov. 16, Tuesday at 5:45 p.m., Coca-Cola Plaza

Valentin Vasyanovich's anti-utopia "Atlantis" won the Best Film Award at the Horizons program of the Venice Film Festival in 2019 and numerous other awards around the world. Returning with Reflection, after a brutal experience in Ukraine’s conflict zone, surgeon Serhiy learns how to be a human being again, how to be a father and help his daughter, who needs his love and support.

The Real Rannap
Nov. 16, Tuesday at 6 p.m., Apollo Kino Solaris

The film's directors, Aleksander Ots and Kaidi Klein were fascinated above all by the composer's personality, the desire to tear the maestro out of the mask and show Rannap himself as much as possible. It succeeds because, after watching the film, the person being portrayed was frightened of the result, he had not seen himself as such. Klein is a co-author of the documentary "Ott Tänak - The Movie" and Ots was producer of the same film.

Wild Men
Nov. 16, Tuesday at 7 p.m., Coca-Cola Plaza

"Wild Men" is a black comedy full of absurd situations and vividly written characters. For men, it offers the joy of recognition and, for women, it’s a useful, educational aid. Martin, a father of two, is a middle-aged husband struggling with a mid-life-crisis. To escape this anxious situation, he heads to the mountains of Norway, to the primeval hills, where he hunts for food and dresses like his ancestors did thousands of years ago.

Respect
Nov. 16, Tuesday at 8:15 p.m., Apollo Kino Solaris

Aretha Franklin. The Queen of Soul. The first woman in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Although no one ever reaches the same heights where Aretha resided, it can be said that the best of the available options was found: Oscar-winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson for her role in the film Dreamgirls gives 100 percent and added a few more notches so that Aretha and her life would be worthily represented on the cinema. Winner of the DDA Spotlight Award.

Rookie
