After a mysterious girl shows up at Gray’s doorstep holding the corpse of a bird that had just cracked her window, an impromptu bird funeral changes how Gray sees herself and her lesbian identity; Ayla wakes up in a mountainous landscape, surrounded only by vegetation and a river. Driven by curiosity and a desire to get to know the place, she goes on a journey of discovery and diving; in the heart of New York City, Mike, a curious young teenager, sets off on a seemingly simple mission: to buy a magazine; If/When is a surreal, time-bending exploration of love, fate, and what it means to hold on when everything is slipping away; everything will change for one woman when she gets given an orange by an unknown figure; Carol panics and argues with her girlfriend Ray after an unexpected proposal, the situation gets worse when Ray transforms into a butterfly; a movingly tender animation, based on Dean Atta’s eponymous poem, Two Black Boys in Paradise sees two boys (Edan, 19, and Dula, 18) on a journey of self-acceptance and love – for each other and themselves.

If/When is a surreal, time-bending exploration of love, fate, and what it means to hold on when everything is slipping away.

Ollie Quatch doesn’t experience time like everyone else. Untethered from a linear reality, they drift through moments out of order, glimpsing futures that may or may not come to pass. But when they see a future without Az—the one person who makes them feel grounded—Ollie refuses to accept fate as final.

From a hospital where their very existence is deemed an anomaly, to a fridge shop where their love first sparked, Ollie scrambles through fractured moments, trying to rewrite what feels inevitable.

Ollie’s journey is a kaleidoscope of heartbreak, longing, and resilience. Each shift in time is a gamble, each choice a ripple that could bring them closer to—or further from—the person they love most. And with each shift, Ollie watches Az slip further away—not just from them, but from themself.

With stunning visuals and a deeply emotional core, If/When is a story about defying the universe for love—if and when you can.
