Teri and her girlfriend Tiahna navigate their relationship through the chaotic world of Los Angeles’ Skid Row, the “homeless capital of the USA”. A dilemma fuels the tension between the two women: while Tiahna seems comfortable being a player in the underground economy of Skid Row, Teri is driven by a powerful desire to get out. Together with other women from the neighborhood, they attend a weekly Expressive Arts workshop where they are looking to reflect, dream, and heal. Can their love survive the violence of their past and their current environment? Panorama, Berlin Film Festival 2018.
