Out On Film is excited to present four of the year’s best dramatic short films. Ashlyn's inability to accept herself keeps her from pursuing her biggest dream—acting. Sister Wives is a multi-layered love story that tells the tale of young women living in 2003 within a strict, fundamentalist, polygamous society in Utah: Kaidence and Galilee find themselves bound to one another, under the same roof, in the same marriage, as they develop scary, new, exciting feelings for each other. A Honduran immigrant is given the chance to meet her mother after nearly two decades of separation. Finally, two former college teammates, after 20 years of estrangement, find themselves summoned to their late friend's estate hearing. To claim their inheritance, they must first confront their past relationship while undergoing a polygraph test.
Cristina is a transgender Honduran-American woman who was separated from her mother Alma when she was a small child, an event that caused deeply rooted trauma for both mother and daughter.
Twenty years later Cristina has managed to locate Alma and they will have the opportunity to reunite. Only since their separation, Cristina has affirmed her female gender. If she presents as her true self, will her mother embrace her?
