Tender
Short Block: You Think You Know Me? (LGBTQ+)
After an unexpected one-night stand, two women at very different stages of their lives, share an even more intimate morning after.
Synopsis:
tender is a simple story about the bonds between Black women. The film sets out to capture the power of bonds shared between Black women and explores emotional intimacy, sexuality, and loss, from a Black woman lens, which we don’t see nearly enough. tender is also about how we can find both joy and connection in unlikely places -- if we allow ourselves to.
