Leslie reunites with her childhood friend after their transition.
When your estranged childhood friend moves to your city, what better way to reconnect than on a scenic hike?
As they navigate the rugged landscape of the trail, the two confront the emotional distance that grew between them, Bry’s transition and the unresolved feelings from their past.
This queer short film explores themes of forgiveness, self-acceptance, and the enduring power of friendship.
