Under the Hood brings us on a journey through a country where the secret police is still known as the KGB and gathering in public to do nothing is considered a crime. The film takes us from the protests and secret opposition meetings of the capital, Minsk, to the horse-drawn carts and hand-tilled fields of the countryside, following the lives of businessman Yuri, villager Lyudmila, youth opposition leader Franak and journalists Eduard and Viktor, among others. Their stories, of normality punctuated by bureaucracy and occasional brutality, remind us how close Belarus is to the rest of Europe... and how very far away.

- A tiny classroom is a meeting point and a shelter for those who have come to Spain driven by the "European dream" to start a new life. Brought together by fate, these immigrants share disillusionment, alienation and yearn for a return home. But they haven't counted on their extraordinary language teacher Maria Antonia. Hiding a sadness of her own, Maria is on the surface playful, engaged and determined, though she does not speak any other language except her mother tongue Spanish, to excite her students with whatever it takes to break through their own dark stories. 48 year-old Maria Antonia gets her inspiration from her dreams. She is devoted to her life dream of becoming an actress. It seems sometimes that the classroom transforms to the stage, with Antonia as a leading actress on it. Fiction and reality touch one another in her small, hermetically sealed classroom, a place where Maria is the star and her students the audience. Visually playful with distinctive animation and melodramatic theatre sequences, full of giant, quiet tragedies, Spanish for Adults leaves a poetic and lasting impression. That life will always throw adversity our way - it is not a case of trying to avoid it, but rather how we live our lives through it and after it.
