Our film review coverage kicks off with a look at a violent depiction of New York Riqueno family relationship between a machismo ex-con father, his transgender teenage son, and the mother who loves them both.
WHAT'S THE STORY?: When Enrique (Esai Morales) gets out of prison, he returns home to the Bronx to discover that his wife Angela (Judy Reyes) has grown emotionally distant and that his son Michael (trans-actress Harmony Santana) moonlights as the beautiful spoken word poet Vanessa. Torn between torn fighting for his family the only violent way he knows how and loving them Enrique will have to face up to the way he sees Michael and himself.
