Here is a 98-min collection of gay men's shorts from around the world.
AS SIMPLE AS THAT: Suspicious that her son is gay, Joana shares her doubts with her husband. To her surprise, the boy's father knows much more about the subject than she imagined. After all, why was she the last to know?
DON GINO: Once Don Gino discovers his son's homosexuality, he'll have to choose between family and respect.
THE EPHEMERAL: Two strangers meet in a subway car. Both bring their past with them. Both look from their present. Both will determine their future in that fleeting, and ephemeral, vital journey that brings them together briefly.
SKELETONS: In this powerful drama, a man (Robin Lord Taylor, Gotham, You, John Wick 3, The Walking Dead) must confront the pain and trauma of a past relationship, as a former lover (Tommy Beardmore, Marvelous Ms. Maisel, Chicago P.D., Hustlers) unexpectedly arrives on his doorstep.
FABIU: 80-year-old retiree Arthur lives in a modest home in Vienna. For quite some time he has lovingly been caring for his seriously ill wife with only female nurses assisting him. When the new male Hungarian care worker, Fabiu, enters the picture, his routine is broken.
