To Faro (Mein Freund Aus Faro)

Mel is a young working class girl with an androgynous appearance who dreams of a less monotonous life. One night, she picks up two hitch hikers, Jenny and Bianca, who give her the opportunity to reinvent a new identity ; as Miguel, a young Portuguese. But this is without taking into account the love story that will develop between Mel and Jenny, and the minefield of misunderstandings that go with it. This subtle fiction explores the themes of gender and social pressure, with an infinitely endearing romance thrown in. Just to open the festival in beauty and style.
