Mezipatra's documentary section will bring five films from Europe, Middle East and the USA. While the stories of the protagonists are primarily personal, they bring testimonies about important issues of today's world – about the roles of society and about the lives of individuals within them, about the problems of migration, influence of the media, and overcoming biological limitations of our bodies. However, the topic that resonates most there is a family as the basis for our further lives.

Through the intimate autobiographical Madame, Swiss filmmaker Stéphane Riethauser dives into family history and illustrates the impact of societal labels on the lives of individuals.
