An Avocado Pit
Larissa, a trans woman and Cláudio, a cis man, meet one night, in the streets of Lisbon. Two people, two realities, who dance their differences away till morning light. In challenge, in surprise, in awe and in recognition. An empowering story, free from violence and filled with light and hope for the better days yet to come.
Scaring Women At Night
Two strangers are scared on a late walk home. As they try to escape one another, their worlds collide at an intersection forcing them to question who they’re afraid of and why.
Monsieur Le Butch
Jude wants top surgery, Mom wants an "old lady pass" on getting their pronouns right. As they butt heads about gender, language, and body image, they both must navigate the discomfort of being seen.
Our Males and Females
Parents are faced with the painful task of washing their deceased transgender daughter. When no one agrees to wash her, how far is the father willing to go to do it?

An unlikely connection and a night to remember; a young man assessing how he is perceived in society; a heartwarming journey between mother and child; a woman stripped of humanity even after death. These stories portray some of the vastness of the trans experience.


Cysylltiad annhebygol a noson i'w chofio; dyn ifanc yn asesu sut mae'n cael ei weld gan y gymdeithas; taith galonogol rhwng mam a phlentyn; ac mae menyw yn colli ei dynoliaeth hyd yn oed ar ôl marwolaeth. Mae'r straeon hyn yn portreadu peth o ehangder y profiad traws.

Two strangers are scared on a late walk home. As they try to escape one another, their worlds collide at an intersection forcing them to question who they’re afraid of and why.


Mae dau ddieithryn yn ofni cerdded adref yn hwyr. Wrth iddyn nhw geisio dianc oddi wrth ei gilydd, mae eu bydoedd yn gwrthdaro ar groesffordd gan eu gorfodi i gwestiynu pwy maen nhw'n ofni a pham.
