BEST NARRATIVE FEATURE

88 min | CA, USA | 2022 | East Coast Premiere

Confronted by his mother’s illness and his child’s exploration of gender, a traditional blue-collar guy is torn between who he has always been and who his child needs him to be. Although he is an unprepared parent of a transgender child, his willingness to understand and his overwhelming love carries him. Filmed in Pennsylvania, Two Lives is an all-American indie film that inspires conversation, invites compassion, affords perspective, honors the human experience, and produces some honest tears and some uncomfortable giggles.
