LGBTIQ topics also have a place in the Portuguese Cinema Days program this year. The short film "Um Caroço de Abacate" deals with the spontaneous and touching encounter of a trans woman and a cis man on the streets of Lisbon. The subsequent feature film "Lobo e Cão" (Cláudia Varejão) tells a story of friendship and the queer community on the Portuguese island of São Miguel.
