Synopsis
Sofia is a 17-year-old athlete who discovers, on the eve of a career-defining volleyball championship, that she is pregnant. She decides not to keep the baby, but, in a country where abortion is forbidden by law, she soon discovers her destiny is not solely in her own hands. Supported by a group of friends with radically different backgrounds and bodies, she gradually overcomes the many obstacles in her path. Levante is a powerful portrait of young, progressive people of colour who are committed to fighting the conservative sectors that want to control women's bodies.

As pastel autumn sets in, Brussels will once again be decked out in fuchsia pink and bold yellow (Pink Screens' proud colours) over the course of 10 days. Your queer film festival will be opening its doors on 31st October for its 23rd edition. Over 100 films of all genres from all over the world will light up the city's screens with stories in which the margin becomes the focal point. More than just a festival, Pink Screens is an ode to queer creativity, a space where films not only entertain but also question, provoke and, above all, do not ask permission.
