Venus: First Look

FILMS

This spirited romantic comedy has a distinctly modern touch - focusing on a family where gender, generations and cultures collide. A South Asian transgender woman sees her life flipped on its head when she meets the “white” teenaged son she didn’t know she had. As her complicated circumstances unfold, she must navigate parenting, a romantic relationship, her culture and an overbearing mother. Written and directed by Eisha Marjara, who delivers a resounding plea to cast off gender stereotypes.
