Katja and Isabella decide to have a child. However, like many lesbian couples they discover getting pregnant is difficult since (for legal reasons) most fertility clinics refuse to treat them. Help is available at one clinic but for a price. After several expensive attempts Katja wants to stop while Isabella refuses to give up. In a last effort, the couple purchase an “at home” insemination kit and search a “sperm donor” website. And so they begin ‘casting’ for a potential donor – a process that challenges both women’s attempts at creating a family.

The unexpected difficulty of becoming mothers through the means of artificial insemination slowly erodes the relationship between Katja and Isabella.

Boys is a beautiful portrayal of first love between two teen track stars as they train for the biggest relay race of their lives. At the start, Sieger grapples with his emerging attraction for Marc, his relay teammate. As the summer progresses, so does a romance between them as they swim, bike, and even kiss. With family and social pressures mounting, Sieger tries to fight the inevitable. Authentic in its portrayal of young romance, Boys ranks as one of the most wholesomely romantic gay teen films ever.

Based on the true love story of Elizabeth Bishop and Lota de Macedo Soares. Frustrated poet Elizabeth Bishop travels to Brazil and encounters the beguiling architect Lota de Macedo Soares. Initial hostilities make way for a complicated yet long-lasting love affair that dramatically alters Bishop’s relationship to the world around her.

In 1951, New York poet Elizabeth Bishop travels to Rio de Janeiro to visit Mary, a college friend. The shy Elizabeth is overwhelmed by Brazilian sensuality. She is the antithesis to Mary’s dashing partner, architect Lota de Macedo Soares. Mary is jealous, but unconventional Lota is determined to have both women at all costs. This eternal triangle plays out against the backdrop of the military coup of 1964. Bishop’s moving poems are at the core of a film which lushly illustrates a crucial phase in the life of this influential Pulitzer prize-winning poet.
