Twinset (2010)

Duration: 12:24    Category: Short, Society   Opportunity: Bridging the Gap

Tea and cake, stilettos and gentle murmurs; old ladies in an Essex church welcome a towering transvestite into their midst. But families ask questions that polite old ladies do not dare; this is an observational film about courage, family and the cost of being happy.
