Over 40 years after they parted, Marijke seeks out her former lover Marcel by sending a letter to his old hometown. The letter is not received by Marcel, but rather by Marcella – Marcel transitioned from male to female some years ago. But she hasn’t forgotten about Marijke – and their love is soon rekindled. Even if Marcella’s transgender status is surprisingly and refreshingly not an issue for Marijke, can the newly reunited 60-something couple adjust to a new relationship and weather the storm of long-distance and homesickness?  More...

A stressed out single mom must juggle work, her directionless and recently returned twin brother, and especially her precocious, and likely gay, nine-year-old son, whose obsession with dresses, dolls, and cheerleading is leading to problems at his Catholic school. Ready? OK! is one of the wonderful delights of this year’s festival.
