À propos de ce film

Christina is a young trans woman who's running-from her past and home. When she buys a broken-down boat for that purpose, she gets more than she bargained for in the boat's owner, Esteban. He gives her a place to stay on an abandoned barge and helps her fix up the boat. Slowly but surely, they find themselves quietly navigating the sometimes messy waters of a straight man falling for a trans woman. As their connection grows, Christina makes a temporary but real home for herself on the docks and begins to rebuild her life as Esteban rebuilds her boat. Day by day, she begins to find something steady in a ramshackle barge, a barely-running boat, and stocking the aisles in a mundane grocery store. She slowly sheds the pieces of the life that haunts her, moving past the obstacles that stand between her and freedom. We can't find home standing still; for some of us, home is in finding who we are, in raising the anchors and embracing freedom on the water.

Notes et avis

The film was interesting, and I liked the storyline about the experiences of transgender people. I enjoyed the director’s presentation on the importance of acceptance and the need for people to be comfortable with reality. Christina was honest that she was unwilling to commit to anyone and needed to fix her life first. The various attacks faced by Christina regarding her sexuality also raise awareness of the biases that transgender people face. I would recommend the film to my friends and anyone

Loved this movie 🍿
