Score:
Given the "unauthorized" name of Morning Glow by her alternative family, Social Services are taking the 8-month-old girl from them. After an ombudsman intervenes, the girl is returned, but the case continues. The media portrays this as petty bourgeois officials using bureaucracy to trouble those with lifestyles they disagree with. Morning Glow now symbolizes the conflict between the state and civil defiance. But where are the boundaries between normal and alternative?

Score:
While their classmates and friends are doing everything to fit in, Runa, Dina, Viktor, and Joachim (aged 12-14) are defining themselves differently. They are the first people to be openly gay in their classes and the youngest ones in their respective communities to come out. But building pride is not easy in a world where hate messages are just a click away, and even harder in schools where administration and education systems seek to erase and marginalize outstanding voices. What is it really like to be the only open queer in the whole school? Told through the eyes of the four young people, the film gives us a window into understanding what it is like to grow up as a queer.
