Las Pardas. (Simone Sojo. 15'. Spain. 2024) A group of transvestite friends sneak into the municipal swimming pool to cope with the summer heat. The darkness embraces them and the vegetation protects them from the world's gaze. Conversations don't satisfy them, and danger lurks from the bushes to the bottom of the pool, and almost without realizing it, the light and the swimmers surprise them.

Estic bé, má. (Josema Palenzuela. 5'. Spain. 2024) Blanca is a young illustrator who has just moved out of her own home. When her mother bombards her with questions, Blanca invents an illusory life, drawn life-size on the walls of her house.

Final. (Mel Estaba. 10'. Venezuela. 2024) One room, two girls. They would be the perfect elements for a new Sapphic love story. Except for Alex and Pau, who is the end of it all.

The 5 O'Clock Chime. (James Cooper. 15'. Japan. 2024) In Tokyo, an unrequited romantic encounter and a sudden disappearance leave Seiji struggling to make sense of what never happened and what might have been.

Cholera. (José Luis Lázaro. 9'. Spain. 2025) After spending the morning at the beach, a careless moment leaves Guillem and Nico locked out of the car, without keys, cell phones, or clothes. What seems like a simple mishap takes a dark turn when, while asking a stranger for help, a question triggers an encounter as unexpected as it is brutal: "Are you gay?"

Exchange. (Amaia Yoldi. 14'. Spain. 2024) Antonio and Inés are two complete strangers who meet on Wallapop to exchange something Inés can no longer tolerate and that Antonio wants to try. Between them, there appears that strange complicity that sometimes arises between strangers. However, what we experience in private is not always something we wish to acknowledge.
