The love and support shared by this group of old friends is heartwarming. A feel-good film for sure. \nThis film is followed by two shorts.

Ali Grant): Might a genetic mutation be the very thing that allows this nice Jewish butch lesbian to be fully seen at last? Meet Sarah\, 57. Lesbian? For sure. Jewish? Yes and no. Mother? In all but one sense. Trans? No\, just often mistaken as such. Breast cancer survivor? Well\, that’s the plan\, the survival bit\, but without the cancer or the breasts.

Leo Torre): A creative trans self-documentary video exploring themes of early transition and gender rebirth using themes of mythology and the sea. \nPatricia in the Dark (2023\, Dir.
