Two films set in two countries examine in depth the links between a parent and a child The parallels that can sometimes be drawn between the works of filmmakers from two different countries and cultural milieus are fascinating. In the center of Uberto Pasolinis Nothing special anywhere , in Northern Ireland and Pierre Monnard Needle Park Baby , based in Switzerland, is a single parent and relationship with a young child that both will lose. In addition, the differences between these films, which were shown at the 25th Kerala International Film Festival in the World Cinema category, are huge. in the Nothing special anywhere John (James Norton), a window cleaner suffering from an incurable disease, has only a few weeks to live and is looking for a family that can adopt his four-year-old son Michael. in the Needle Park Baby 11-year-old Mia is struggling hard to clean up her drug-addicted mother, Sandrine, but is nearing her breaking point. Different longings Both filmmakers go deep
