A kaleidoscope of queer love and whimsy, from older Latina lovers unearthing an affair to queer Black desire that ignites exhilaration and bliss, these films ease weathered fragments of heartbreak and illuminate facets of love and self-love that persevere like jewels, if only we can find it.

An older white Latina with light brown skin and shoulder-length curly brown hair gazes across the room. Reflected in the dresser mirror behind her is an older Black Latina with dark brown skin and short gray hair, wearing a black dress. On a dresser is an illustration of Jesus and a framed wedding photo with a man and woman.
