Synopsis
Dreaming of Lions
Gilda is terminally ill. Her only wish is to die without pain, and as all her suicide attempts comically fail, she decides to seek professional help.
Love, Simon
Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it's a little more complicated. He hasn't told his family or friends that he's gay, and he doesn't know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he's fallen for online.
