MyFrenchShorts: Honeymoon (2023) by Alkis Papastathopoulos
As Fay prepares to leave Greece after a violent encounter with the police, her friend Sandra joins her on the journey. But what begins as a quiet goodbye between two trans women turns into a harrowing confrontation with transphobia in the heart of the Greek countryside.

Tender and uncompromising, Honeymoon explores friendship, resilience, and the emotional toll of being forced to leave home to survive.
