Synopsis: Inspired by actual events, the first story is a lyrical portrait of a young man with Asperger’s Syndrome who leaves home and journeys through NYC’s labyrinth-like subway system. The second story focuses intimately on the rare emotional connections we make and their importance. The story involves Gabriel, an older and lonely Ecuadorian livery car driver from Queens, and his random encounter with Sze Wun, a young Chinese mother who is stranded. While listening to a soccer match that Gabriel has bet “his life” upon, he offers Sze Wun a ride home to her sick child, setting the stage for the events that follow in which their bonds become revealed despite linguistic and cultural barriers. Along their journeys through the city, they each discover the deeper value of their intimate connections.

Synopsis: Three Native American teenagers—a rebellious father-to-be, a devout Christian girl, and a promiscuous transwoman— resolve to live on their own terms. Sydney Freeland’s funny, deeply felt feature debut, which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Festival and went on to win multiple awards on the festival circuit, takes an unflinching look at contemporary life on the Navajo reservation. Featuring a standout performance by newcomer Carmen Moore, as an aspiring transgender model.
