An exceptional triptych that capture decisive moments in various queer and trans lives. Dihlon (Benjamin Rigby) is a married British artist living in 1868 Montana who seeks a muse and finds one in Jacy (Kiowa Gordon), a Crow who shows him new ways to think about gender. In 1979 Barstow, CA, Gabryal (Uly Schlesinger) befriends Alasen (Jessica Allain), an exchange student who takes him to Los Angeles to meet Thandi (Nakhane, the out queer musician, who performs many of the film's songs). What transpires is a life changing experience. The third story, set in 2020, has the trans Jalin (Ryan Cassata) meeting Andrea (Kate Bornstein) a trans therapist who teaches him about how to grapple with love and loss. Writer/director Travis Fine ("Any Day Now") makes all three stories moving and coaxes strong performances from his diverse ensemble cast. This is a remarkable, gorgeous film that addresses issues of pride, shame, and identity with sensitivity and compassion.
