Synopsis

Fifteen years after Burton’s gender-affirming transition, his longtime friend Courtney uncovers a cache of home video from that time period and invites him to go on-camera to revisit the old footage together. Concerned about outing himself to co-workers unaware of his gender reassignment, Burton initially declines, until he has a change of heart—deciding that truth is more important than fear.
