Coming-of-age

ADAM & EVE

Davey & Bianca Morrison Dillard

United States / 2016 / 25'

Twenty minutes after the expell of Eden. ADAM & EVE follows the courting between the first man and the first woman - they have been appointed to populate the Earth, but the boy is more enthusiastic than the girl.

It is a typical story of formation, with a boy and a girl alone for the first time, that are trying to come to terms with their sexuality and the silence of God, while they are trying their first awkward incursions in a love story. Yet, this time the future of humanity is at stake.

COMING OF AGE

Teboho Edkins

South Africa, Germany, Lesotho / 2015 / 63'

Lefa and Senate are bound by a strong friendship. The two girls come from Ha Sekake, a little village in the mountains of Lesotho in South Africa. One day Senate has to leave because she wants to study in the city and also Lefa, after overcoming sadness for Senate's departure, has to decide what to do with her life. The short summer of youth comes to an end and it's time to cross the doors of the adults world.
