Identity and destiny intersect in this melodrama about a dying woman reconnecting
with her estranged sibling. Time and memory are the subjects of the visual leitmotif
that features a surfeit of reflective images, suggesting the trajectories of two women
grappling with life. Colorful and robust, GLORIA AND GRACE unflinchingly chronicles
the struggles of a transgender woman finding herself transitioning once again, but
this time away from the life of rugged independence to which she is accustomed, to
one of family and nurturing.
