2nd Best
Sometimes you just can’t stop fighting. Riley and Adrienne ( a real life couple from Portland, Oregon) are coming back from a long day at IKEA already in a terrible mood, and even though Riley knows Adrienne is on the brink of a breakdown about having to eat the only thing they have left in the house (a brick of cold tofu) Riley still decides it’s a good time to ask Adrienne to reassure her about their sex life.
Answers and Questions
A woman is acting. Is she or isn’t she? The story centers around lesbians as women play a tug-of-war to hide and reveal their desires.
Chick Flick
Girls are pretty; talking to them is hard. Cindy can get Athena's attention, but can she speak to her?
Coffee and Pie
Coffee & Pie is a self proclaimed anti-romantic comedy, and yet a quirky love story of sorts. It is a contemporary tale about relationships and the people who engage in them. The story examines two characters; June and October and their drastically different notions and takes on love and life.
Flyers
A street flyer leads to a surprising discovery.
Half
Noun: One of two equal parts that together constitute a whole.
Salas S.A.L
The new employee will have a long term relationship with the Company. No longer can be said that she doesn't have what it takes to work in Salas S.A.L. It's not true that Salas S.A.L. takes advantage of the staff. Then her boss tells her that she doesn't think anymore that it is a bad idea to fall in love with an employee.
Sometimes People...
Set in the early 1900's, the film follows the story of Margaret Harkin, a lower class seamstress, and her encounter with Emily Blake, an elegant young debutante from an aristocratic household. As Emily's overbearing mother makes the final arrangements for her daughter to be married and Margaret labours to complete the dress Emily is to be wed in, it becomes apparent that any form of association between the two women could prove too volatile to be permitted. Sometimes People... is the story of two women who meet, fall for each other, and then explode violently upon touching.
Strangers
Strangers tells the story of a mother, daughter and daughter-in-law, outwardly bound by kinship but inwardly devoid of emotional closeness. When a former relationship is rekindled between the latter two, the household is forced to confront a disconcerting truth.
What It Could Be (Parede Branca Do Que Poderia Ser)
Together, Natalia and Catarina find the chords of a song that can break down a wall.
