On midsummer nights, film stars come to life in the courtyard of Ljubljana Castle. A programme of this season's best films has once again been put together by Kinodvor, in collaboration with the City of Ljubljana and Ljubljana Castle. This year, six films will have their first public screening in Slovenia in the Castle courtyard.
The Children Act
Sodnica / The Children Act
Richard Eyre, VB, 2017, 105'
cast: Emma Thompson, Stanley Tucci, Fionn Whitehead
Fiona Maye is an eminent High Court judge in London presiding with wisdom and compassion over ethically complex cases of family law. But her marriage is at breaking point, and in this moment of personal crisis, she is asked to rule on the case of Adam, who is refusing the blood transfusion which will save his life. Three months from his 18th birthday, Adam is legally still a child. Should Fiona force him to live? "Emma Thompson’s performance, so elegant and vulnerable, carries the picture." - The Guardian.
