Four of the year's best drama shorts are found in this stunning program. A revered small-town Imam faces a crisis of faith when he must choose between upholding the values of his mosque or protecting the safety and spiritual belonging of a trans man congregant; an absurdist tragedy set in a repressive society where kissing is punishable by death and people pay for things by receiving slaps to the face; Angine, an unhappy woman, shops compulsively in a department store. There, she becomes fascinated by an ingenuous salesgirl; for two men displaced in the hell of the German meat industry, something lies between them, and something makes them dream again; when Vidya, a 62-year-old recently widowed Indian woman sublets a room in her house to a 19-year-old Black gay man, she re-discovers her sense of self and her love for makeup, despite complications from the family.
