When Doves Cry
Sometimes those closest to you are the last to understand you. In these diverse short dramas, family members take awkward, scary, sometimes funny steps to be fully seen by their loved ones: from an older widow stepping out with her new girlfriend to a gay teen trying to connect with his oblivious dad.
Short films showing in this program:
Blunt
In this dialogue-driven episode, an interracial lesbian couple attempts to ease the racial tension between them and their parents using the power of straight talk and a little bit of cannabis.
Boom and Bloom

Monsieur Le Butch
When Jude ends up unexpectedly living at home in their 30s, they must deal with a lovingly opinionated Jewish mother who doesn't quite get the whole “trans thing.”

Rosa
Rosa goes to a local swimming pool, where her daughter is working as a lifeguard, in order to restore their relationship. The meeting will be very special because it’s her daughter’s 18th birthday and this will be the first time she has seen Rosa since she transitioned to a woman.
