Synopsis:
For the first time since coming out as polyamorous, spouses Alex and Don are hosting Don’s Southern parents for Thanksgiving in their New York City apartment. The fifth seat at the table is for Aly, Don’s partner of three years. Aly and Alex have developed a deep metamour connection, and introducing Aly to Don’s parents is an important step for integrating the lives of all three. But tensions escalate when Don’s parents struggle to understand the relationship dynamics between their son and his partners, and the polycule must weigh biological family against their chosen one.
Quick Thoughts:
This queer holiday film nearly slipped past my radar, but I’m glad I discovered it! While the focus is a tad more on the polyamourous relationship, it’s certainly a queer short film as there is at least one bisexual partner involved in the relationship. However the reason that I think everyone should watch this queer holiday short is because it shows how the parents are not understanding and certainly not accepting of their child’s poly relationship. In the end, they’re shown the door and highlights that our actual family are those who accept us for who we are. It’s worth watching!
