Aloft

"Aloft" (2014) is a quietly affecting drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Peru's Claudia Llosa — whose "The Milk of Sorrow" took the Golden Bear at Berlin 2009 — the film is a Canada-Spain-France co-production starring Jennifer Connelly, Cillian Murphy and Mélanie Laurent.

Nana is a farm worker raising two boys alone. An accident fractures the family and, unexpectedly, unlocks a gift in her: she becomes a healer of some renown. Decades later, a journalist tracks down her son Ivan — now a guarded, enigmatic falconer who carries the visible marks of growing up without either parent. The reunion she engineers forces both mother and son to finally reckon with what was left unsaid. Unhurried, precise, and better than its reputation. Stream "Aloft" online on iFILM.
