Yoseli wants to go to Paris, but she is arrested at the airport for drug trafficking. Nacho is a trans man who ends up in prison for fraud. And Noelia simply doesn't want to end up on the street again. Whether gentle or tough, blonde or shaved, cis or trans: in this hybrid musical, they all play out their true past in prison and dream of their future - in trance-balance, voguing and in a rock band.

They hang out together, whether it's the teens on the banks of the Limmat, the kids between the skyscrapers or millennial friends in the garden. They chill out, play, laugh, discuss and argue until late, only to go their separate ways again shortly before sunrise. What has just happened on this decelerated Zurich summer night?

❤️ Presented with the Porny Days Film Festival ❤️
*Introduction with Talaya Schmid and Emanuel Signer*
Eine Motorradfahrerin mittleren Alters, die der Einsamkeit überdrüssig ist, geht zum ersten Mal auf eine Lesbenparty, wo sie vier junge polyamore queere Menschen kennenlernt. Sie lassen sich aufeinander ein und zusammen durch das Wochenende treiben. Eine Begegnung der Generationen und eine Hommage an diejenigen, die uns hierher gebracht haben.
Eigentlich hätte sein erster Film ein Spielfilm werden sollen. Ein junger Regisseur erinnert sich an die Vorbereitungen für seinen ersten Film, ein B-Movie über Geister. Die Rollen wollte er mit seinen Freunden besetzen, den jungen queeren Menschen aus Medellín, die gegen ein repressives Umfeld kämpfen. Aber sein Hauptdarsteller, der auf Instagram Anhell69 heisst, stirbt an einer Überdosis, wie auch so viele weitere Freunde. Trotzdem entsteht ein Film, wenngleich ein ganz anderer, als geplant. Halb rekonstruiert, halb imaginiert erzählt Theo Montoya in seinem Regiedebüt Anhell69 von den Träumen und Ängsten, den Exzessen und der Melancholie einer Generation, die nicht an die Zukunft glaubt. Ein fluider Film über die Kraft der Gemeinschaft und die schmale Grenze zwischen Leben und Tod wurde in der Woche der Kritik der Filmfestspiele in Venedig uraufgeführt und beim internationalen Festival Dok.Leipzig mit der goldenen Taube ausgezeichnet. Eine poetische, zutiefst politische Geisterbeschwörung!

Under the pretext of an impending pandemic, all the four-legged friends of a Japanese megacity are banished to the garbage island off the coast. When young Atari lands there in search of his dog, the abandoned strays have already organized themselves. At the same time, resistance against the corrupt city government is forming on the mainland. A fabulous stop-motion film taking sides with the undesirables of this world.
