With no parents around, the brother-and-sister duo have to figure out who&rsquo;s going to take care of the mess.&nbsp;<br />&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />Available on: YouTube</p>

When they grow apart, it is eventually their love for their native food that brings them back together.&nbsp;<br />&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />Available on: YouTube</p>

<p><img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2023/jul/Period-drama_e.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /></p>
<p>Aptly named, Period Drama is about a young girl&rsquo;s horror at first finding blood on herself when she gets her first period. Funny and yet poignant at the same time, the film explores the confusion, uncertainty, and complete helplessness of a young girl, Georgiana Crimsworth, who finds herself on the brink of puberty and thinks that&rsquo;s she&rsquo;s dying.<br />&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />Available on: YouTube</p>
<h2>Lunch Hour</h2>

<p>The first thing one notices about Lunch Hour is its animation-style, reminiscent of a sketchbook style of art. It is the tale of a small boy from a bi-racial Indian family, who has one huge problem with life: cucumber sandwiches. The gleaming lunchboxes of his friends seem tempting, unlike the green gunk he is forced to confront daily&mdash;but which he will learn to love.&nbsp;<br />&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />Available on: YouTube</p>
<h2>Last Summer</h2>
<p><img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2023/jul/Last-summer-smaller_e.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /></p>
<p>This film draws on nostalgia and depicts the poignancy of a childhood that&rsquo;s ending. In this anime-style film, the protagonist Ren writes a song to immortalise the memories of his childhood friendships.<br />&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />Available on: YouTube</p><p>
