Please reserve before October 30, 2026 / Entry: 66 CHF (2 films + menu) This year, we are screening the following 2 films: Radical Directed by Christopher Zallam with Eugenio Derbez, Jennifer Trejo, Mia Fernanda Solis Mexico VO (original version with German subtitles) Matamores is a small Mexican town located not far from the American border. It features all the stereotypes associated with Mexico: drug trafficking, armed violence, petty crime. It is unusual for a teacher to request a transfer specifically here. Sergio (Eugenio Derbez) is an idealist. He wants to offer real prospects for the future to the children who, here, through rigged final exams, are awarded a diploma that is useless to them. For this, he immediately clashes with his colleagues, resigned for a long time, and the school principal – and, against all odds, he succeeds in the impossible. The law of HerodDirected by Luis Estrada with Damián Alcázar, Pedro Armendáriz Jr., Delia Casanova Mexico VO (original version with German subtitles) Mexico, 1949: After the residents of San Pedro de los Saguaros decapitated their mayor, Juan Vargas (Damián Alcázar), a naive garbage collector and party supporter, is appointed the new head of the municipality. Originally, he committed to establishing law and order as well as modernization in this dusty, desert village, but Vargas quickly succumbs to the temptations of power. Armed with a revolver, a copy of the Mexican Constitution, and a good dose of corruption, he quickly learns the true law of the jungle. Anyone who does not comply with his wishes is put in line. Luis Estrada's dark political comedy is a sharp and cruel satire on abuse of power, political greed, and the legacy of the PRI regime in Mexico – full of humor, cynicism, and painful precision.
