Jorge
Marta and Jorge have been a couple for seven years. All their friends think they are living a perfect romance. Too perfect, perhaps, for the despair of all: Bruno, who is much younger than Marta but madly in love with her; Lígia, who is Bruno's sister and Marta's best friend and would love to see her brother happy; Carlos, Jorge's friend, who maintains a superficial romance with Lígia while secretly in love with Marta; and for Jorge himself, who is afraid this idyllic romance will imprison him and, convinced that his love and his lover's desire to marry will take away his freedom, decides to show her the way into Carlos arms.

August

Heiko (segment "Heiko")
Elliot Tittensor (TV's Shameless) stars as Daz in headlining film PROTECT ME FROM WHAT I WANT, a gripping British film debut that sees him woo a young lad in an underpass, only to be threatened with a break-up the following morning. Passive and submissive roles are tackled and tugged in gay graffiti tale VANDALS and Icelandic grapple-fest WRESTLING, while POSTMORTEM, MY NAME IS LOVE, and Iris Prize-winner STEAM look at promising encounters that turn awry. Rounding out the collection are HEIKO, an alternative ode to foot fetishes, BREATH where 12-year-old Erik swims out to sea to make a daring move on his best friend's father, and the crème de la crème from this collection TREVOR, which won multiple prestigious awards from Sundance, Berlinale, and even The Academy Awards (Oscar) for Best Short Film.
Quitterie, a 40 year-old woman, relives the great love for her deceased 18 year-old Japanese partner, by successively meeting up with young strangers.
Heiko
A 70-year-old man is in a relationship with a young man named Heiko. It is a fetishist relationship taken to extreme exoticism.

The darkness of night, a barely lit place, motorbikes flirting with danger: a group of teenagers at a crossroads playing chicken with unaware passing cars. Jota (Eduardo Frazão) stands out from this group, unclassifiable; his destiny has no straight lines save those on the asphalt.
Jota lives in permanent conflict with everything and everybody in his small town. No room for stillness. And then comes Margarida (Ana Moreira). Jota has no inside, Margarida has no outside. In spite of, or because of, that, they meet. What can they do? They can just ride, they can get away with it even if its all messed up. Love is to be lived.
Cuando su hijo Mathieu muere en un accidente de coche, Camille (Catherine Deneuve) siente que su mundo se hunde. La única persona en la que logra encontrar consuelo es Franck, el mejor amigo de su hijo y el responsable de su muerte. Ni su marido ni su hija le sirven de apoyo; sólo Franck, atormentado por la culpa, parece entender y compartir su dolor. Pero el interés de Camille por el chico se convierte pronto en algo obsesivo.

Jorge
Christmas Night. A man, a serial killer gets out in order to search another victim. The thoughts could be our own but the end is unpredictable.
Una pequeña familia "un padre y un hijo" vive en el último piso de una casa antigua. El padre se retiró del ejército, cuando era un estudiante en la escuela de vuelo experimentó el primer y el único amor de su vida. Esta chica se convirtió en su esposa y dio a luz a su hijo. Ambos tenían entonces veinte años. La esposa murió cuando era joven. Este amor siguió siendo su secreta felicidad única. El hijo creció, y probablemente será un militar como su padre. Los rasgos del hijo recuerdan constantemente al padre de su esposa. No separa a su hijo de su amor persistente: ésta es su unidad con su mujer amada. El padre no puede imaginar su vida sin su hijo. El hijo ama a su padre con devoción y profundidad, un sentimiento filial intensificado por una responsabilidad moral instintiva que está siendo probada por la vida. Su amor es casi de virtud mitológica y de escala. No puede suceder en la vida real. Esta es una colisión de cuento de hadas.
