Love is Universal | A Dyke Delicious Program

90 mins

Description

Universally understood love takes hold in this program of heart-wrenching short films that show us what it is to love and be loved. A young woman’s relationship is threatened when her conservative mother pays an impromptu visit from Taiwan in WHEN MOM VISITS, the tables are turned on the accusers when a woman on trial for prostitution flips the script in SHAMELESS, and CAMP BELVIDERE lets us in on an intimate and forbidden encounter between Camp Leader Rose and Nurse Gin. Because who doesn’t love a steamy 1950’s lesbian romance?
