You can’t get what you want but you can get me

Director: Samira Elagoz, Z Walsh
Unique document about two trans men who fall madly in love and for one year record everything they experience, from their first kiss up to surgery. A sweet and sensual celebration of love and life interwoven with art.
A series of photos and screenshots tells the story of the Finnish-Egyptian Samira Elagoz and the American Z Walsh, two transmasculine artists who fall madly in love with each other. We witness their first meeting, the start of their long-distance relationship, the meeting of the families and Z’s surgery. All milestones are captured in a uniquely intimate and touching way. It is a portrait of queer/trans love as we rarely see it.
