#1. Not of This World (1999)

Storyline: Caterina is a nun and has taken provisional vows for a month when she goes to a park when she meets a man who has found an abandoned baby boy and entrusts him to take him to the hospital. After doing so, Caterina begins to visit the little one and becomes attached to him so much that he tries to trace his mother through the sweater in which he was wrapped. This goes as far as Ernesto, forty-one, owner of a laundry left to him with his father's debts. Ernesto is unhappy with life and is all centered on his problems so as not to even remember the names of his collaborators. The boy's mother is perhaps Teresa, his former employee and Ernesto is perhaps the father. Thus began a crisis for Catherine as a nun and for Ernesto the awareness of not being the only unfortunate man on earth.—Baldinotto da Pistoia

#3. Girls Town (1996)

Storyline: A look at a group of girl friends coming-of-age during their senior year of high school in urban America. Nikki and Emma have a heart to heart talk one evening about how much they'll miss each other at college next year, but the next day, Nikki doesn't show up at school: she's committed suicide. The friends steal Nikki's journal and discover that she'd been raped. The rest of the movie shows our heroines growing closer in the wake of Nikki's death and the relevation of her secret (Emma reveals that she's also been raped), taking revenge on the men who oppress them, and trying to grow up and move on with their lives. Emma has to deal with a shallow boyfriend, Angela with an overbearing mother, and Patti is trying to finish high school while trying to raise a child and avoid the child's loser father.—Martin Lewison <lewison+@pitt.edu>
