To be or not to be a mother, that is the question. Milagros (37) stretches a carefree youth in her last years of fertility, while Jonathan (24) seeks solace on Grindr in order to overcome abandonment issues. Friendship and driving ease the disorientation caused by the deceptive freedom of the early 21st century. A delirious Road Movie full of music, where a mysterious mermaid with a magic crown will set the course of the journey.

The Archive: Queer Nigerians
Simisolaoluwa Akande | UK, 2023 | 25 min
The film follows five queer Nigerians living in the UK as they document their lives through audio diaries. From childhood to the present, participants share stories that explore how universal ideas of family, love, and finding oneself are obfuscated within the intersection of Blackness, African-ness, and Queerness.
