These award-winning films from Iris 2020 tell modern LGBT+ stories from around the world with humour, heart and honesty. Outstanding short films from the ones to watch.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Victoria Amazónica is the only plant capable of changing shape and sex. Ana has gone to her ex-husband's florist to ask her not to go to the meeting they have at her daughter's school, they haven't seen each other for months and the reunion brings with them good and bad memories, everything they lived together seems like a Lie. She needs answers.

Victoria

A heartwarming LGBTQ+ love story that spans over six decades, between two Land Army girls during World War II. A partly silent film, accompanied by a beautiful score, starring BAFTA award-winning actresses Miriam Margolyes, and fifties film legend, Virginia Mckenna.

Wings

Families, morals and societal norms are challenged with the arrival of a new controversial medical procedure. Jamie is a young mother who shares a strong bond with her 10 year old son, Max. Max is an effeminate child exploring his gender identity - for which he is extensively bullied at school. As the bullying becomes increasingly severe, Jamie fears for her son’s immediate and long term future. Through her neighbour, Jamie is introduced to Refine, a new private medical facility. Refine offers a new procedure that can alter personality traits and in Max's case, heteronormalise him. Jamie is faced with a near impossible personal and ethical dilemma. Should she allow Max to undergo this procedure in order to protect him, or should she continue to encourage him to follow his natural inclinations and accept a more trying and complex future?

Better

The story follows Michael, played by Ian Hart (Harry Potter, The Last Kingdom, Noughts &amp; Crosses), a quiet man not used to grand gestures of emotion, as he embarks on an extraordinary journey one evening after work. By following his heart, Michael finds himself part of the drag community and his understanding of family will change forever.

Queens

Short Calf Muscle is an absurdist black comedy about Anders. And Anders is different. But he doesn't know that. Yes, he's also gay, but that's not the point here. There is also this thing that others see but he doesn’t.
