Про цей фільм

After three years in prison, Enrique (Esai Morales) returns home to the Bronx to find the world he knew has changed. His wife, Angela (Judy Reyes), struggles to hide an emotional affair, and his teenage son, Michael (Harmony Santana), explores a sexual transformation well beyond Enrique's grasp and understanding.
Unable to accept his child, Enrique clings to his masculine ideals while Angela attempts to hold the family together by protecting Michael. Still under the watchful eye of his parole officer (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.), Enrique must become the father he needs to be or, once again, risk losing his family and freedom.
Can a father's fierce love for his family overcome his street-hardened ideas about manhood and end the vicious cycle controlling his life? Writer/director Rashaad Ernesto Green's first feature film is an intricate portrait of a family divided told with sensitivity, gentle humor, and a deep understanding of the environment that shapes its people.

This movie was ahead of it's time. Deals the issue of transgenderism and its effect on family in a traditional family. Great acting. Esai Morales is excellent as the father who struggles to deal with his son's transition.

Just a really good movie with characters struggling with their own issues. Esai Morales just keeps getting finer with age!!!!!! Love everyone in this film.....

Saw it when it came out. It was very well acted & has a great storyline.
