When two elderly women — Hazel, sharp-tongued and fiercely independent, and Bea, warm but forgetful — meet as roommates in a nursing home, they clash over space, noise, and personality. As they reminisce about the lives that they’ve lost, Hazel comes to believe Bea is the Beatrice she loved as a teenager.

FEMM

A museum for its patrons and a prison for its relics, FEMM is a place where women who behave outside of the patriarchal status quo are kept for their own safety. When Char is admitted to the “hysterics exhibition,” she meets four women who have been kept there for longer than they can remember — Ginny, an emotionally volatile recluse who touts complacency but is secretly manipulating her way to escape; Zee, an excitable harpy prone to fits of ecstasy; Via, an apathetic lover of morbidity; and Opi, who often gets lost in familiar places and speaks in strange hallucinogenic riddles. As Char enters their realm, she begins to discover a community among the madwomen but pushes them to begin exposing the injustices of the emporium.

Rachel Berry struggles with addiction, Santana Lopez has lost her best friend, and Quinn Fabray wants out of the Glee club. The Glee squad we know and love has changed since the show went off the air in 2015, but they live on as a group of seven friends continue to re-enact their favorite characters in order to cope with their personal issues.
