Whether you’re in love with your father’s girlfriend, trying to come out to your family, or just looking for someone to join you in the shower, the enthralling sexy short films in this program feature the girls of Iceland, Sweden, and Norway as they explore various difficulties at the intersection of their sexuality and the rest of their lives.

Family Reunion (Gódir gestir) (Isold Uggadottir, Iceland, 2007): New York-based Katrin is returning to her native Iceland for her grandfather’s birthday, carrying a secret that she doesn’t know how to share. But she’s the one in for a surprise in this sweet story of family love and acceptance.

Peace Talk (Jenifer Malmqvist, Sweden, 2005): Tomboy Jonna and best friend Emellie love to play war, but little does Jonna’s mother know, love may be at play too.

Spinning (Heidi Arnesen, Norway, 2006): A shower is wet and intimate and very private. Boundaries shift and three women no longer feel so naked when the lights go out.

Heartcut (Hjerteklip) (Anne Sweitsky, Norway, 2006): Sixteen-year-old Eva has fallen in love with Inger, who unfortunately happens to be her father’s new girlfriend. A warm and humorous drama, the film is a chronicle of first love, and an inconvenient first love at that.
