CONTENT WARNING:

Hip lesbian Micki Silva leaves her fast-paced urban lifestyle for Cape May, New Jersey, to help her ailing uncle Charlie. At the local diner, run by Shelley, Micki meets Charlie’s friend Roberta. Roberta likes her house, working at the diner, and numerous aspects of the small-town way of life that bore Micki, but opposites attract. Drawn together by the dying Charlie, the two women develop a complex relationship.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

Winner of the 1998 Los Angeles Outfest's Outstanding Emerging Talent Award, Buck's Out of Season is a touching and subtle love story set in the picturesque seaside resort of Cape May, New Jersey. Micki, a restless, leather-jacketed, and Marlboro-smoking lesbian with loads of attitude, finds herself in a small town, caring for her dying uncle Charlie and running from everything, including her ex and her photography career. She finds a few surprises, one of which is the other lesbian in town, Roberta, a forty-year-old African-American waitress at the local diner and a good friend of her uncle. Jealousy, fear, and love all play a part in the story that ensues as both women struggle to find a way to trust. Buck has created a feature that is at once engaging, credible, and satisfying.

This English-language film from the director of Costa Brava is a sparkling comedy set in Spain, where the WonderNapKing Company is in crisis because of a severe decline in its sales of sanitary napkins. Rosa, a worker at the factory, is angry that her friends have been laid off, so she takes over as CEO with the intent to rehire her friends. When she learns that the demand for sanitary napkins is falling because women are having shorter periods due to stress, she hatches a plan to eliminate women's principal headache-men. All that remains is for Rosa and her compaderas to doctor a popular new brand of toothpaste with a radioactive material that causes men to disap- pear, thereby creating a world of ample employment, peace, and prosperity. Will Rosa's plan be sabotaged and bungled, or will she succeed? Honey... is a whimsical, witty and clever farce, certain to appeal to all "I Love Lucy" fans.

This wacky farce follows Rosa, a bungling employee who is hired as CEO of a sanitary napkin Company. After it is discovered that stress, brought on by men, is decreasing women’s menstruation cycles, Rosa, with the aid of an ever-so-cute scientist develops a plan to rid the world of stress, bring world peace and provide plenty of job opportunities (even the Pope’s position is available). A wildly rebellious comedy about female empowerment, a world without men and sanitary napkin sales!

The Trio is a comedy spinning with freewheeling sexuality. Its cast of characters includes Zobel, an aging queen; his tired lover, Karl; and Zobel's feisty daughter Lizzi. All three travel around in a mobile home living off their earnings from their pickpocketing business. When Karl becomes unable to work, the ambitious young Rudolf, a boyishly charming misfit, takes his place in their cozy band of thieves. Although Zobel decrees "no exchange of bodily fluids within the team," both father and daughter get the hots for their newest member, and a very interesting ménage à trois ensues.

Zobel and Karl are a long time gay couple who live together in a trailer home with Lizzie, Zobel’s spunky daughter from a heterosexual misadventure. Together these three form a team of thieves who eke out an existence as pickpockets. After a botched job, Karl becomes unable to work, forcing Zobel and Lizzie to seek out a new partner. Lizzie recruits Rudolf, the boyishly charming town misfit. Reluctantly, Zobel allows Rudolf to join them but warns him to never break the golden rule: “No exchanging of bodily fluids within the team.” This dictum becomes increasingly difficult to live by as Lizzie’s cravings and Zobel’s own passions toward Rudolf intensify. Eventually, the golden rule is broken by Lizzie…and then again by Zobel (unbeknownst to Lizzie, of course). An intricate love triangle soon develops amongst the three that is shaped by deception, desire, and betrayal.
