CONTENT WARNING:

Openly gay Ernesto and closeted Gabe grapple with the sad tribulations of being gay in a small, working-class Texas town

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

The parallel stories of two gay men in a small Texas town. There’s Gabe: a contractor who’s getting over an ill‐fated affair with a married man and finds solace in the relationship he still harbors with his ex‐wife, Shannon, and their daughter, Cindy; and there’s Ernesto: a Hispanic lumber yard worker in the midst of splitting up with his live‐in boyfriend, Luis, as he receives news from the hospital that his former love, Martin, is in a coma. At the end, when Gabe and Ernesto meet each other for a one‐nighter–having endured all the struggles and heartbreaks and wondering if they’ll ever find love again–they face the possibility that they might just be meant for each other.

In 'And You Belong', acclaimed director of Gender X, Saila and Noise & Resistance Julia Ostertag delivers a visual and musical rocket ride through the queer music underground telling the story of two girl electro hip hop act Scream Club and their network of friends. While Scream Club´s music has been the soundtrack for a decade of underground fun, friendship and activism, Julia Ostertag created a fascinating document on a new queer self‐esteem through original footage, archival footage, music videos and photographs. The scene that has been affected and inspired by Scream Club is evident in the supporting protagonists including Sunday Luv, Nuclear Family, BadKat, DJ Metzgerei, Heidi Mortenson, Nicky Click and Joey Casio. Co‐Produced by Jürgen Brüning.
