Why we chose it

Sean Baker (“Anora”) became one of American indie cinema’s most talked-about names with his fifth film, shot on an iPhone 5s along Santa Monica Boulevard with actresses he found at a Los Angeles LGBT centre. Sundance went wild, and Baker gives the spotlight to people who usually get overlooked.

Synopsis

On Christmas Eve, Sin-Dee, a trans sex worker, is back on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles after twenty-eight days in jail. Over doughnuts, her friend Alexandra lets slip that Chester, Sin-Dee’s boyfriend and pimp, hasn’t been waiting for her. Alexandra’s advice is to let it go, but Sin-Dee has no intention of letting anything go.
