Open Horizons: Different but the Same
USA 2019 95 DCP Color
Adam, an erotically inexperienced teenager, visits his sister for the summer, who seems to date her way through NYC’s lesbian community. Introvert Adam struggles to grasp a new world of fluid gender identity and sexual openness, as he tags along behind his sister to queer bars and LBGTQI equality rallies. When he falls at first sight for attractive Glenn, she instinctively mistakes him for a trans male. Flummoxed and infatuated, he haplessly goes along with her false assumption. An offbeat comic tragedy of misunderstandings, of modest tenor and refined aesthetics, which walks down the bittersweet path to self-awareness.
“The tribute entitled "Different but the Same" is implemented by the Operational Program “Human Resources Development, Education and Lifelong Learning” and its co-financed by the European Union (European Social Fund) and Greek National Funds.”
