Ricky (Michelle Hendley) is a 21-year-old trans girl living in Kentucky. Her only real friend, straight-laced Robby, has been her trusty, totally platonic, confidant for over 15 years. Her day job slinging lattes is merely a stepping-stone toward her goal of being a famous New York designer. She's confident, cool, and completely ready for something new - and then her world is transformed when an enchanting debutante saunters into her life.

Indie-film veteran Eric Schaeffer (My Life's in Turnaround, If Lucy Fell) builds a compelling, compassionate world that focuses on the emotions and messy challenges of complex people navigating complicated relationships.

Goofs

The rejection letter has many typos ("accpeted" instead of "accepted" and "hat" instead of "that"), and though it is 4-5 paragraphs long, it's the same paragraph repeated multiple times.

Ricky: Ain't that the truth.
Francesca: Commitment.
Ricky: Dick. Oh, well, I mean that too, but it's a distant second.
Francesca: I'm sorry. Did you say what I think you just said?
Ricky: Mmm, that... commitment's a distant second?

User Reviews

Beautiful and heartfelt

I just want to say this film it truly beautiful and truly worth the watch..... The acting is brilliant by all of the cast but I have to say Michelle Hendley is outstanding.... I would definitely recommend this.... It shows you the struggles of life in a lot of different situations, it grasps the fact that people shouldn't judge and it reflects this perfectly and it such a lovely way that it would make you reach out for the Kleenex. I have watched films in the past that have had a good beginning and middle but have completely flaked at the end however this movie draws you in and does not disappoint with a perfect ending. If you are looking for a feel good film then this is it, I never really rated the guy when he was in twilight but I must say he excels himself in the lead role role in this movie.... Enjoy ;)
