"Don't act all poetic." An excellent, intimate short film to feature just before 2020 ends. Yulia & Juliet is an 11-minute short film made by Dutch filmmaker Zara Dwinger. This originally premiered in 2018 and won tons of awards at festivals, now it's finally online to watch. Yulia and Juliet, both 16, are locked up in a juvenile detention centre. Despite their circumstances... they feel like they can take on anything together. They’re in love with each other. Nothing can hurt them when they’re together. But then Juliet is released. This short film is inspired by, of course, Shakespeare's most famous love story. Starring Sara Luna Zoric as Yulia and Dylan Jongejans as Juliet. This is one of those shorts that proves how incredibly talented the filmmaker is, right down to the shot at the end of them looking at each other through windows. Perfection. Thanks to Vimeo Staff Picks for the tip on this one.

Fortunately, it only takes a phone call to reveal that Alma’s slacker cousin Emir (Ernad Prnjavorac) had reluctantly agreed to collect her from the airport, but fell asleep in his car...
