Relaxing Films on Netflix: A Selection to Disconnect
While some films leave the viewer tense and anxious from start to finish, others have a true calming power. They help us relax, clear our minds, and forget all problems, at least for a few hours. For viewers looking for such features, Bula has compiled a list of ten great options available on Netflix. Among those selected are 'Motti's Awakening' (2019), by Michael Steiner; 'Especially for My Ex' (2019), by Jorge Ulloa; and 'Perfect Strangers' (2018), directed by Manolo Caro. The titles are organized by release year and do not follow any classification criteria.
Family Stories and Unusual Romances for Serenity
Pete and Ellie feel something is missing in their lives and decide to adopt a child. They attend a fair to meet some homeless children and are charmed by Lizzie, a strong-willed teenager. Social workers tell the couple that Lizzie has two younger siblings. Despite their fears, Pete and Ellie decide to adopt all three. Initially, coexistence is pleasant, but then challenges begin to appear. After being forgotten on Mother's Day, friends Carol, Gillian, and Helen decide to travel to New York to reconnect with their children. They arrive unannounced and are surprised by their busy children, who have no time to spend with their mothers. Feeling frustrated, they realize they can enjoy the trip in another way and decide to have fun in New York. Motti, a young Orthodox Jew, finds himself at a decisive moment in life. His mother believes he should marry and constantly introduces him to marriage candidates. But the women his mother chooses have one problem: they all resemble her. At the same time, Motti secretly falls in love with the non-Jewish Laura, his college classmate. Laura is a liberal girl and certainly would not be accepted as a daughter-in-law by his mother.
Dramatic Comedies and Adventures of Overcoming
At 21, Ariel is devastated by the end of his relationship. His ex-girlfriend moved to Finland, and he has no money to visit her. To buy tickets, he decides to form a rock band to participate in a music contest, where the winner will take home a ten-thousand-dollar prize. The problem is that Ariel doesn't understand music, much less the other band members. Bertrand, an unemployed family man, suffers from depression. After an ineffective treatment, he starts frequenting his neighborhood pool and joins the men's synchronized swimming team. During training, the amateur athletes share their frustrations and joys, becoming great friends. Under the command of former Olympic athlete Delphine, they decide to participate in a world championship. Renzo Nervi was once a successful painter, but today he can't sell any paintings. Arturo Silva is a sophisticated gallery owner and art dealer. The two are old friends, and Arturo tries to value Renzo's work, but the painter's arrogant attitude doesn't help the business. Until one day, they decide to get involved in an illegal scheme to finally make money with works of art.
Mysteries, Epic Romances, and Generational Conflicts
Seven long-time friends decide to reunite. What was supposed to be just a dinner takes an unexpected turn when one of them proposes that everyone leave their phones unlocked on the table for a while. This way, everyone's notifications and secrets would be shared with all. During the game, these friends, who have been together all their lives, discover that they don't really know each other. Samy, a young man from a humble background, wants to win over his friend Nadia. But she doesn't feel secure about Samy's unstable life. To impress her, he says he would even climb Everest for her love. So, Nadia says he will have to fulfill what he said to prove he deserves her. Despite being inexperienced in climbing, Samy manages to get funding for the trip and attracts media attention. Don Servando Villegas, a systematic 85-year-old man, is expelled from the nursing home where he lived. After that, he goes to live with his youngest son, Francisco, who lives with eight other people in a hippie community. Don Servando repudiates the way his son is living and starts causing trouble with the community residents. Francisco gets annoyed, but gradually begins to connect with his father.
