Competition 2: Pour One Out for the Past

The past shapes us all. Be it the death of a loved one, an old friendship or one's own past and the decisions associated with it. But this does not always have to be a bad thing. What is much more important is what you do with the past and what lessons you learn. So let's pour one out together with these 6 films.
