Reel Q Reel Stories: Petit Mal

A glimpse into the life of a loving throuple—and what happens when three becomes two.

Reel Stories is a free film series dedicated to showcasing international queer cinema. Our April Reel Q screening presents Petit Mal, a work of semi-autobiographical fiction from Colombia, written and directed by Ruth Caudeli.

Petit Mal follows Martina, Laia, and Anto, a loving throuple of women leading a joyful and balanced life together until an unexpected shift disrupts their relationship. When Laia is called away for a long-term project, Martina and Anto must temporarily reshape their own dynamic. As they contemplate the strength and flexibility of their love, we see the trio navigate an ever-evolving romance, making room for envy, loneliness, and affection to coexist.
