Ordinary sales men by day, extraordinary excitement by night! Mr. Jonas and Mr. Schmidt have boring and normal day jobs and go to every door selling pots. They add life to their lives by Mr. Jonas spending his evening drinking whiskey and in pubs whereas Mr. Schmidt turns himself into a drag queen!

A Kiss
That Changed Everything! When a French girls scout go on a trail, Lise who is a
lesbian becomes the centre of attraction as the alpha girl of the group kisses
her in the woods. Being docile and sweet, Lise soon finds herself being
ridiculed and outcasted from the troop.
Adding
to the severity of the abuse, Lise is awakened in the middle of the night and
taken deep into the forest, tied to a tree and her long mane chopped as a sign
of punishment.
When
the movie ends with the ring leader finding herself facing Lise's intense
glare, the movie brilliantly portrays the juxtaposition of the abuse being
fought with confidence and silencing hatred by doing what defines you!

Fantasising
on men and women, Fabrice Luang-Vija's He Who Has Two Souls gives life to a
man's dilemma. Living in a snowy wonderland, the hero is beautiful as a woman
and handsome as a man. The interludes of repeated animated stills of his
confusion adds volumes to his gender fluid mindset.
His
desire of being with someone who understands that sometimes he wishes to sow or
sometimes go out in the cold and hunt for fishes resonates with the feeling of
being accepted that lingers in the minds of each and every one.
