Storyline
A Brooklyn couple has always known that their four-year-old son is more interested in fairy tale princesses than toy cars. But when his preschool director points out that his gender-nonconforming play may be more than a phase, the couple is forced to rethink their roles as parents and spouses. Written by A Kid Like Jake

This film wasn't ready for production.
The characters are massively underdeveloped, and the storyline is just self-contradictory and nonsensical all around, devoid of any substance.
