This block of shorts serves a hearty range of feeling from chilling to ludicrous where Louisiana’s familiar landscapes - swamps, diners, and places of worship - become arenas for self-exploration. Characters of past and present go on narrative odysseys of spiritual, mythical, and personal discovery without ever leaving home.

Ruby follows a queer nun, Sister Natalie, and her accomplice, schoolgirl Ruby. Together they commit to change and challenge the status quo at their stiff Catholic school, finding themselves and exploring their sexuality in the process.
