This
"Grand Jury Prize" winner in the Philippines, "The
Amazing Truth About Queen Raquela" is about
Raquela - a “ladyboy” - from the Philippines
who dreams of escaping the streets of Cebu City for a fairy tale
life in Paris. In order to make her dreams come true, she turns
from prostitution toward the more lucrative business of Internet
porn. Her success as a porn star brings new friends, including
Valerie, a ladyboy in Iceland, and Michael, the owner of the
website Raquela works for. Valerie helps Raquela get as far as
Iceland. From there, Michael
offers her a rendezvous in Paris. Will Paris be everything she
dreamed of? And will Michael turn out to be her Prince
Charming? 
"I
Can't Think Straight" is a romantic comedy about
Tala, a London-based Jordanian who prepares for an elaborate
wedding with her fiancé, when she encounters Leyla, a
young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend Ali.
Spirited Christian Tala and shy Muslim Leyla could not be more
different from each other but the attraction is immediate.
Tala’s feisty nature provokes Leyla out of her shell and
soon both women reveal their feelings for each other. But Tala
is not ready to accept the implications
of the choice her heart has made and escapes back to Jordan
where her chain-smoking high-brow mother finishes preparations
for an ostentatious wedding.
