Money, Money, Money. The root of all evil but also makes the world go round. Struggling for money seems to be a universal theme these days and it really hits home in these films from around the world.


Alice is 27 years old today. She feels suffocated by her life in Budapest as, due to economic hardship, she still lives with her parents and an annoying younger brother. Alice finds emotional release from her drab daily life by escaping into a dream world of erotic fantasy. One night, after attending a psychedelic party on a factory roof, she is involved in a serious, drunken bike accident. Will this incident be the catalyst for making changes in her life?


Winner of the Short Film Palme d'Or at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, 27 is a vibrant look at the tough decisions today's young adults face. Captured with vibrant colours and exquisite animation, 27 is a moody exploration of female sexuality and imagination.


27 will be screened as a part of the SHORTS: CASH RULES EVERYTHING AROUND ME package.
