Programserie: view askew
Welcome to Kosmorama's absurd (and occasionally a bit peculiar) corner! In the program series View Askew, you'll find films with elements of the surreal, absurd, or conceptual, which, with a wry smile, comment on the current state of the world around us.
Kill the jockey
Remo is the best and most popular jockey in town. He is expecting a child with his girlfriend and colleague Abril and is a cash cow for the mafia boss Sirena. However, due to his self-destructive behavior, everything is starting to fall apart. With cigarettes, alcohol, and all kinds of drugs as his preferred fuel, this wild horse refuses to settle down and instead seizes the opportunity to disappear. Now, everyone is looking for the jockey—dead or alive.

Sister Midnight

The Colors Within
Totsuko is in high school and has a very special ability: she can see the colors of others. These colors are tied to different emotions, and the most fascinating one she sees belongs to her classmate Kimi. By accident, Totsuko claims she can play an instrument, leading her to start a band with Kimi and Rui, a boy they meet in a bookstore. Their collaboration in making music also becomes an opportunity to develop friendships, experience first love, and discover more about each other—and themselves.
The End
Humanity has screwed up big time, destroying both itself and the Earth.
Twenty years after the end of the world, a family lives in an underground bunker system. Everyone else has long since perished, and the family struggles to adapt to life below the surface. The son, in particular, seems far younger than he actually is, having had no contact with the outside world—or what remains of it. When a stranger suddenly appears, it sets off a chain reaction of events.
