This coming-of-age story follows Shéár Avory, a 17-year-old aspiring social justice
advocate in Los Angeles who navigates housing instability and familial dependency
on their journey to adulthood. Shéár relies on their struggling mother for support
during their medical transition, though she is not always able to offer it. This observational
film aims to ask, what does coming into adulthood actually look like for a young black
trans* femme in today’s America?
