VIRTUAL (OCT 14–24)

Philippe Talavera; 2020; Namibia; 61 min.

George is an openly gay insurance broker with a supportive family and group of friends. But he’s also in search of a partner. Then he meets Simeon, a closeted kapana (barbecued meat) seller who can’t imagine being happy in a relationship with a man in a country where being gay is forbidden. Root for George and Simeon as they navigate their feelings in this romantic drama—the first positive (and award-winning) gay film out of Namibia.
