CONTENT WARNING:
Openly gay Ernesto and closeted Gabe grapple with the sad tribulations of being gay in a small, working-class Texas town
This film is presented in English with English subtitles.
The parallel stories of two gay men in a small Texas town. There’s Gabe: a contractor who’s getting over an ill‐fated affair with a married man and finds solace in the relationship he still harbors with his ex‐wife, Shannon, and their daughter, Cindy; and there’s Ernesto: a Hispanic lumber yard worker in the midst of splitting up with his live‐in boyfriend, Luis, as he receives news from the hospital that his former love, Martin, is in a coma. At the end, when Gabe and Ernesto meet each other for a one‐nighter–having endured all the struggles and heartbreaks and wondering if they’ll ever find love again–they face the possibility that they might just be meant for each other.

Too Cold Out There Without You

When the Rev. Christopher Fike was ordained in the Episcopal Church in 1999, he was a straight, married mother of two adorable children. By 2004 he had completed his transition and now identifies as a man. Chris’s decision to change genders ignited tensions in both his family and in a Church still reeling in the aftermath of its consecration of Bishop V. Gene Robinson, the world’s first openly gay bishop. Too Cold Out There Without You is a post‐transition story that looks beyond the act of transitioning and instead focuses on the transformation that takes place in Chris’s relationships with those closest to him. Chris’s family were confused about what would happen to Sarah, the person they had loved for forty years. Chris’s career in the Church was severely derailed by his transition. Forced to take a leave of absence, Chris found himself angry, unemployed and alienated from an institution he loved. And everybody worried about the impact his transition would have on his kids. Chris’s journey looks at what it takes for people to stay connected and shows how our lives can be better together despite unexpected turns life sometimes takes.
