Clara is a midwife in the remote Andean village of Totorani. She knows the old songs, the old knowledge, the old ways. She also knows she wants something else — a life in the city, music, escape. Her adoptive mother, Ana, needs her. The village needs her. The film sits quietly in that tension, never rushing to resolve it.
Álvaro Olmos Torrico shoots the Andes like a character in the story — vast, indifferent, beautiful. The cinematography catches the texture of skin, the dimness of indigenous households, the noise and neon of Cochabamba city. The performances by Marisol Vallejos Montaño and María Magdalena Sanizo are deeply affecting without ever overstating emotion. The film trusts you to feel what's at stake.
This is not a film about tradition versus modernity in the abstract. It's about a specific young woman, in a specific place, making a specific choice. Filmcasino's Cine Latino series is one of the few venues in Vienna that programmes this kind of work — films that have travelled the festival circuit and earned their place, but still feel urgent and new.

Spring Wind: The Awakening at Urania / Stadtkino
- When
- 14 July 2026 – 19 August 2026
- Where
- 1st · Innere Stadt
A year-long documentary following Péter Magyar's challenge to Viktor Orbán. Shot in intimate moments and public rallies, it captures a country deciding who it wants to be. The film was released free online in Hungary ahead of the election and watched 3.3 million times; Magyar's Tisza party won 137 of 199 parliamentary seats. For Vienna's international community, it's a rare chance to see Hungary's political upheaval from the inside, in Hungarian with English subtitles. Screening at Urania tonight (July 14), then continuing at Stadtkino from July 23 through August 19.

Jim Jarmusch's Golden Lion winner at Venice 2025 is a triptych of quiet family portraits — three chapters, three countries (USA, Ireland, France), one recurring question: what do adult children owe their parents, and what do parents owe each other? With a cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver, Vicky Krieps, Indya Moore, Charlotte Rampling, and Tom Waits, it's unmistakably Jarmusch: deadpan, melancholy, funny in the way only awkward silences can be. The multicultural structure — each chapter set in a different country, each family shaped by different cultural expectations around loyalty and distance — makes it feel genuinely international rather than just American indie. Top Kino is the right room for this: small, serious, the kind of place where Jarmusch's long pauses land properly. Runs through August 20 in OmdU.

- When
- 10 July 2026 – 29 August 2026
- Where
- 7th · Neubau
Vienna's best free cinema returns to the MuseumsQuartier on July 10, running every Friday and Saturday at Hof 8 until August 29. This year's theme is 'Confrontation' — and frame[o]ut has been doing this long enough that the theme is a genuine curatorial frame, not a marketing label. The MQ courtyard, surrounded by the Kunsthalle and MUMOK, fills up with people who came for the film and stayed for the evening. Films are shown in original version with subtitles. If it rains, screenings move to MQ Arena21. Free entry, no reservation needed — just show up. The specific July program was not yet published at time of writing; check frameout.at for the weekly lineup. This is one of the most reliably good evenings Vienna offers in summer, and it costs nothing.
