Upon Her Lips: Butterflies (2022)
That feeling of apprehension, of doubt - the sensation of butterflies before taking the plunge. Five women and the objects of their affection face up to their futures in these thoroughly modern tales of lesbian love from France, Germany, Israel, Italy and the UK. The richness and enthralling complexity of same-sex desire has never looked so inviting.
