Beans’ perfect world is shattered when conflicts arise between the Mohawk community and the neighboring town of Oka, which wants to construct a building on an indigenous cemetery. Peaceful protests are met with racist violence, stones and fired shots. Beans no longer understands the world. How is she supposed to deal with all this chaos? Based on her own experiences, the director tells the individual and political self-assertion of a girl who, against the backdrop of the 1990 Oka crisis, suddenly must grow up far too quickly.

THE LAST PICTURE SHOW

The Last Picture Show. USA 1971. Director: Peter Bogdanovich. Screenplay: Larry McMurtry, Peter Bogdanovich. 118 Min. Feature film. OV w/Eng. Sub. Suitable from age 12.

This key work of New Hollywood celebrates cinema as a great dream machine, because it knows rowing up is not easy, especially not in a small Texas town in the 1950s. Everywhere there is wasteland, boredom, and social numbness. Nevertheless, the young people are tirelessly searching for happiness in love affairs, the gambling hall and, of course, in the cinema. For the youngsters, the cinema operator Sam, is the only adult who comes into question as a guiding figure. However, when he suddenly dies, the cinema also closes. The protagonists attend the last screening, which marks their entry into adulthood and becomes a symbol of the end of the American dream.
