Ry Russo-Young turns the camera on her own past to explore the meaning of family. In the late 70s/early 80s, when the concept of a gay family was inconceivable to most, Ry and her sister Cade were born to two lesbian mothers through sperm donors. Ry’s idyllic childhood was threatened by an unexpected lawsuit which sent shockwaves through her family’s lives and continues to reverberate today.
Nostalgic home movies blend with a sense of looming instability to capture a childhood caught between radical love and legal warfare. This intimate portrait examines how a pioneering queer household survives when the outside world tries to dismantle it.
