How can we get a break from what we have heard & experienced so many times & instead listen to stories about having fun, how we can change the world, & about love? Sam Hultin has interviewed people who are in love with a trans or non-binary person. The text that is read in the film is a collage of everyone’s story & a love letter to all trans & non-binary folks.
