When Enrique returns home to Gun Hill Road after a three year prison sentence, he finds his family transformed. His son, Michael, has become Vanessa, played in a breakout screen debut by Harmony Santana. A transgender teen desperate to begin her physical transition, Vanessa saves money to buy back-alley hormone injections from a street dealer. Enrique struggles to connect with his family and to assimilate to his new life on parole. But can he find the strength to accept his son for who he has become, or will he cling to his hardened conceptions of masculinity and eventually revert to the patterns of his criminal past? Despite its volatile edge, this favorite of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival is ultimately a family story of acceptance. The fact that Santana was in the throes of her own gender transition during the filming process lends a poignant honesty to Vanessa's struggle to establish her identity in the tough, unforgiving world of the Bronx. Pitch-perfect performances from Esai Morales (Caprica, NYPD Blue) and Judy Reyes (Scrubs, OZ) round out the stellar cast in this thought-provoking drama.
