The Ice Dragon is a family film in the tradition of Nordic storytelling, where strange possibilities lie far in the north. Mik is a scrawny 11-year-old who lives in Stockholm public housing with his teenage brother Tony. Every once in a while their dad shows up, which is not a good thing since he's an alcoholic heavy-metal rocker still living the dream. Mik likes to box and watch zombie movies with Tony. But Social Services gets wind of the family's unsavory living conditions and Mik is hauled off to live with his kindly Bohemian aunt in a village in magical northern Sweden. It's hard for the city kid to fit in, but soon a cool chick named Pi and her posse decide he's ok. When the social workers show up again to deposit him with a "suitable" family that's worse than Harry Potter's Dursleys, the kids take matters into their own hands. A wintry delight, The Ice Dragon asks what it means to be a family.

French artist Félix Ziem is one of the most original landscape painters of the 19thcentury. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined.
Objects also bear the memory of the geography to which they relate. Ceramics, with soil as their primary material, are directly linked to the land where they are produced: forging a direct relationship with earth, ceramics bear the memory of the soil where they come from.
Inspired by its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, Pera Museum presents a contemporary video installation titled For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones at the gallery that hosts the Collection. The installation by the artist Nicola Lorini takes its starting point from recent events, in particular the calculation of the hypothetical mass of the Internet and the weight lost by the model of the kilogram and its consequent redefinition, and traces a non-linear voyage through the Collection.
