Clutching her little can of Mace, Amanda (Lauren Graham) braves the wilds of Jersey City to enjoy the guilty pleasures of her favorite empanadas. Little does she know, but a sudden fender bender and disabled car soon land her in the strangely bent world of three young queens - Towanda (Joe Holt), Angelyne (Michael Benjamin Washington), and neophyte Luz (Joey Cee) . The four soon set off on an increasingly revealing journey of personal vulnerability, boundary-crossing and derring-do... all for the sake of a grinning gnome. As Amanda sheds her prejudices and fears, she also unfolds some hidden resentments and losses in her own life.
A striking job of directing and acting, with spare camera work and tight blocking - mostly within the confines of an aging vehicle heading for Montclair. Directed by Jenny Bicks as part of the multi-film Reel Moments project by Glamour Magazine, featuring true stories from women's lives, and exclusively directed by women. A Moxie Pictures release and a big hit at the Berlin Film Festival.
