THE LAST SLAP Italy-Slovenia, 2026, 101 min, color

There's the Christmas we all know, the reassuring one, the one with the nativity scene, the fairy lights, the fir tree, and then there's Petra and Jure's Christmas, decidedly far from any possible form of warmth (emotional, spiritual, meteorological). The two brothers live below zero, they're used to it, but the freezing temperature of the village and its few inhabitants is starting to pose a problem: is there an escape route for people like them? Is there a future for a young, shabby couple of mountain handymen? Money. They need money. And the providential disappearance of their dog Marlowe, with the associated guarantee of a "generous reward," seems more promising than many everyday expedients.
