CONTENT WARNING:

In her desire and ambition to become a powerful glam rock star, Elda comes into conflict with her shy alter ego Diego, with whom she shares the same body. A pilgrimage to the altar of a trans woman, who was murdered and buried in the middle of a forest, awakens in Elda new ways of loving, growing and bonding, in connection with nature and beyond the limitations of binaries.

This film is presented in Spanish with English subtitles.

This Argentinian film has it all! A charismatic lead that defies binaries while working towards her dream of becoming a glam rock star, amazing kind found family, beautiful scenery and cinematography, and a movie band that we wish was real.

A Japanese drama film about a fashion editor and his personal trainer trying to make their relationship work in a world stacked against them. It also has to be said chemistry between the two leads is outstanding, making the emotional moments that much more salient.

After losing his mother at the age of 14, Kōsuke spent his depressed adolescence hiding his gay identity in a rural town. Now working as a fashion magazine editor, he spends his free time with his close friends. One day, he meets Ryūta, a personal trainer who works in part to support his aging mother.
