Missed Connections makes a home for stories about rupture, failure, longing, and accident. Heartbreak as well as hope permeates these short films that each exist in the space between people, space that is sometimes bridged and sometimes not, but always present. While the relationships in these stories perhaps miss the mark, triumph finds its way into the program through self discovery, independence, boldness, empathy, music, and kindness.
How will this group handle this situation? Well acted and directed, each character provides an insight into their sexual awareness and level of acceptance. The tensions run high, even and especially as the past relationships of the group members are revealed.
Viewers will walk away with a sense of changed minds, hard-earned lessons, and Frankie's courage reverberating heartily.
When Frankie, a trans-non-binary individual, attends a men’s church group meeting, they are hoping to find a sense of belonging and acceptance.
