Synopsis:
Noah and his sister prepare for a family meal where Noah plans to reveal his gender transition. He arrives at Christmas dinner seemingly unchanged, with a new mustache. Despite the father’s anticipation of sharing big news, Noah and his sister inadvertently draw attention to family dysfunctions. Meanwhile, their grandfather, showing signs of Alzheimer’s, struggles to remember when Noah became his grandson.
Quick Thoughts:
Christmas is a time when many queer folk come home after changes, especially for our trans brethren. In this queer holiday short, Noé is returning home with a moustache and post surgery. Except his parents and grandfather did not realise this! (Mom mentioned she thought it was just a fad…ugh!) It goes about as well as you’d imagine – except for grandpa. He’s quite confused, but just before they go to hand out the presents he realises he made a mistake! In a very touching moment, he ends up swapping the father’s present with Noés. And that is the moment this trans holiday short film turns cute!
