A Revry original, Unconventional is a really well-liked queer dramedy that feels totally different from the usual stuff. The heart of the story is about two pretty eccentric queer siblings and their partners trying to build a family that doesn't follow the traditional rules. It takes a super raw and unfiltered look at queer life, diving deep into things like mental health, addiction, and how complicated identity and relationships can get. It’s not afraid to get messy or show people at their most vulnerable, and it really pushes boundaries while showing a lot of different queer experiences. The first season has nine episodes, and each one is about a half-hour long. The story centers on Noah, a grad student who’s been struggling for years to wrap up his PhD. He’s been with his husband, Dan, for nine years, and they’ve recently gotten married and moved to Palm Springs. While they're trying to figure out how to start a family and have a baby, they decide to shake things up by in...
Just Out Of Reach (USA)
A young man wakes up alongside an older gentleman. As he tries to sneak out, he is caught in the act. An ultra-short film that captures a brief moment in time, this is about that feeling of uncertainty upon remembering the night before.
Toto Forever (USA)
Through flashbacks we work out that a young delivery boy gets involved with a gangster who owes money, with a violent outcome. It owes a lot to the manga tradition, and indeed slips in and out of graphic depiction. Its a complicated story more than it meets the eye.
Men Don't Cry (Greece)
Petros is surprised to receive a visitor Ilias, a younger man whom he met several years before on a night out. Petros wants his uninvited guest to leave, but Ilias is refusing to go. A film about confronting uncomfortable truths, the tense narrative is interspersed with grainy black and white footage of the night they met.
Alger La Blanche (France)
Its about relationship between Farid, of Algerian heritage, and his illustrator boyfriend Jean.

Unconfessions (Brazil)
Luiz Galizia died young, one of the victims of the early days of the AIDS Crisis. He left behind a large personal archive of materials from his life, which his niece, Ana, has lovingly assembled into this documentary biopic thirty years later.
Same Difference (UK)
Twin brothers spend all their time with each other and we are also made to believe they are pursuing the same girl, till one of them makes a declaration of his own by kissing another boy from the team whom he likes. Sometimes twins may not know everything about each other.
Boychick (USA)
In the American suburbs, a decidedly ordinary boy is mollycoddled by his overbearing Jewish mother, who calls him Boychick. As he tries to build up enough courage to speak to his crush at school, he is suddenly visited with spectral assistance from pop sensation Ashley Hart, with whom he is obsessed.
Although this collection was historic and brings you blast from the past, I sadly hav etc say that none of the stories really held my attention. It was the shorter ones about twin brothers or the first one that I really cared about. (4/10)
