This short film program includes the following films:
Living Fish
Junior awaits the arrival of his float so he can finally get into the pool.
El Dance Off
By a gas station in rural Argentina, a young kid, ERNESTO, secretly dreams of becoming a dancer. However, in the patriarchal world he lives in, dancing isn't really a career option. It's only after a dance off with RUBY, a broken-hearted drag queen, that he finds the courage to follow his dreams.
Mortal Enemies and Other Nonsense
11-year-old Hugo and Lucas used to be best friends and now are strangers forced to spend an afternoon together. They embark on one last journey to their shared imaginary universe, turned into a very scary place since everything between them has changed.
Unless We Dance
Bonays, an Afro dance teacher, undertakes an initiative to rescue young people from the crime that stalks Quibdó, a city with the highest homicide rates in Colombia. This is how Black Boys Chocó emerged, a dance company where hundreds of young people face brutal destinies through a passion. UNLESS WE DANCE portrays union and dance as the greatest expression of shielding the Afro people, it is a tribute to their act of resilience and to all the lives that have been lost along the way.
My Queerceañera
Upon turning fifty years old, Karyna, a transgender immigrant, is determined to fulfill her lifelong dream of celebrating her Quinceañera.
Living Fishes
Thamirys and Raphael follow the filming of the short film �Living Fish�, starring their children Agatha and Gustavo � two 8-year-old trans children.
