Struggling freelance writer Rachel Rosen flees New York City after another traumatic breakup with her capricious girlfriend Reggie and arrives at her parents’ home in San Diego, where she is greeted by her PFLAG mom who just wants to see her daughter settle down with a nice girl. Rachel reluctantly allows her mother to set her up with Christine, by all appearances a typical California girl. Soon, Rachel and Christine are moving in together. But, Rachel’s friends and family fear that she will ruin the relationship, knowing that Rachel still has feelings for her ex-girlfriend. Daily Variety calls Lesnick a “budding talent,” and describes the film as a “Woody Allen trifecta reconfigured into sharp-witted lesbian comedy.”

A legendary drag night in New York is the point of departure for transgendered worlds, where women become men—some for a night, others for whole lives. The drag kings of New York meet in clubs and change lustfully into their male alter egos, parodying and exploring male eroticism and power strategies. Other women experiment with hormones to become new men. Masculinity and transformation serve as performance, subversion, or existential necessity in this intimate film about people creating intermediary sexual identities.
