My Mother's Girlfriend

Jan falls in love with a beautiful young woman, Rosalie, but she turns out to be the lover of his lesbian mother Victoria. He is an unsuccessful bookseller and lives with Hannah, who uses the life of this lonely mother's boy for her own comedy show. Everything becomes even more complicated when a mother wants her young son to donate sperm for her lover so that she can give birth to a baby.

Rara

Sara and her younger sister live with their mother, whose new partner is a woman. Everyday life for the four of them is hardly any different than it is for other families. As Sara’s 13th birthday approaches, she feels rather overwhelmed: her first crush, a body in the midst of changes and to top it off, conflicts over loyalty with her parents.

Same Difference

Among the cries of "What about the children?" during the debate over California's Proposition 8, where were the voices of actual children? That's the question posed in Same Difference, a collaboration between renowned photographer Catherine Opie and award-winning filmmaker Lisa Udelson. It's an exploration of how modern American families are constructed, not only those within the LGBTQ community. (Available in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia and South Asia only)

Surprise
