LA BOLA NEGRA tells the story of three men whose lives are intimately connected through desire, pain and inheritance, across three different eras – 1932, 1937 and 2017. Rich with Lorca's poetry and suffused with desire, grief and hope, it is an intimate love story and a sweeping exploration of memory, inheritance and queer history, honouring those whose lives and loves were too often forced into silence.

Set in 1973, during the US’s attempt to overthrow the Chilean government, a hitman for the US government with connections to the JFK assassination suddenly realizes that his own people have put a hit on him to cover up the mess.

A Norwegian woman (Renate Reinsve) and her devout Romanian husband (Sebastian Stan) relocate with their five children to a remote coastal town. As their teenagers grow closer to a neighbouring family, tensions begin to escalate when their tight-knit new community starts to question their rigid beliefs. Soon, the parents are forced to counter accusations that could tear their household apart – and battle a system that blurs the line between concern and prejudice. Captivatingly led by Academy Award-nominees Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve, Cristian Mungiu's Palme d'Or winner FJORD delivers a gripping study of a family under scrutiny.
