The Berlin Film Festival has premiered 'Moscas' (Flies), directed by Fernando Eimbcke, which explores themes of loneliness and connection through the story of a landlady, Olga, and a hidden child, Cristian. The film, shot in black and white, depicts Olga's solitary life being disrupted when she rents a room to a father, Tulio, who secretly brings his son into her home. Eimbcke described the film as a narrative about how opening up to others can lead to unexpected positive experiences, stating, "When there’s a fly at your home, when you open the windows, something special will happen." The film is among 22 contenders for the prestigious Golden Bear award, which will be announced at the festival's closing ceremony on Saturday evening. Eimbcke emphasized the growing prominence of Mexican cinema, mentioning, "There are also Mexican films in all sections of the Berlinale, and more Mexican films will certainly be coming to the major festivals."
