Cass (Asia Kate Dillon, Billions) is a millennial gig worker, traversing the streetscapes of San Francisco by scooter, on the hustle to make ends meet, when a chance encounter with an intriguing coworker sets them on an inward journey of healing and self-discovery. Originally from Michigan–strong, silent and dependable Cass now lives in the Outer Sunset region of San Francisco (aka the Outerlands), a neighbourhood brushed by gentrification. Though they shy away from connection—their loneliness captured by quiet, camera close-ups—Cass soon becomes visible to Denise (Lea DeLaria), a compassionate bank teller who begins doling out advice, not only on landlord subterfuge, but also queer survival. As Cass continues to tread the tightrope of social and economic displacement–working as a nanny, a server, and even selling drugs–they are left wanting after a one night stand with Kalli (Louisa Krause), their desire for connection met with another gig opportunity: babysitting Kalli’s eleven-year-old daughter, Ari (Ridley Asha Bateman). Eventually bonding with Ari over video games, Cass battles long-forgotten, inner demons, but not without gaining the hope that home—though a place they can never return to—can perhaps be a place that they build for themselves.

CROATIAN • ENGLISH ST | Marko, slight but mighty, seems always in control, always a champion—but what happens when he slips his banks? As “unstable air” portends torrential rains for a small Croatian village, the return of Marko’s former neighbour is the rush that might pull him under. Marko (Lav Novosel in a natural, understated performance) has a full life: a brother with Down syndrome (Leon Grgić) who he treats with a soft attentiveness; learning discipline from his father (Filip Šovagović) in the lead up to an arm-wrestling competition; chanting about female anatomy with his buds before pestering his girlfriend Petra (Franka Mikolaci) for sex. But there’s another side to his even-keeled bravado. For, as he tells his brother in the guise of a story, “the boy and the bunny” were once “inseparable,” with a secret hiding place of their own. And now that “bunny” is back. Home from cosmopolitan Berlin for his father’s funeral, Slaven (Andrija Žunac) catches Marko off guard. Despite training constantly as if to outrun his feelings, Marko returns again and again to the river, again and again to Slaven. An imported joint is shared, affections are renewed, and temperatures—and waters—rise.

A stroke upends 76-year-old Vicente’s recently charmed life in the Canary Islands, forcing him to trade his queer eden for a restrictive care home in San Sebastián—and to consider how essential his sexuality is to his identity. Among the nude forms dotting the Maspalomas dunes is Vicente (Jose Ramón Soroiz), a young man giving him pleasure. After 50 closeted years, this sensual existence is to be his reward. But three months later, he finds himself in a long-term care facility with neither income nor his beloved dog, minded by his estranged daughter (Nagore Aranburu). Paired with a motormouthed roommate (Kandido Uranga) with far right sympathies. Anonymously messaging his carer Iñaki (Kepa Errasti) but rejecting him in person. Camera sweeps and choral flourishes encapsulating a world that moves while he sits still. Then, a new manager brings changes just as he’s assimilated to the pale ghost of his days, dangling the hope of a “real home.” Taking us from 2018 Pride to the 2020 pandemic, directors Aitor Arregi and José Mari Goenaga honour those affected by health crises and the inexorable fact of time’s passage, which alters us in unpredictable ways.
