About
Post-screening Q+A with writer-director Jody Wilson, moderator to be announced!
On the brink of inheriting the position of The Bearded Woman; matriarchal leader to an outcast community of circus performers, a young woman defies her overbearing mother and runs away instead. Free from the expectations and responsibilities at home, she seeks romance and adventure with the normies in a tiny farm town. In order to fit in, she reinvents herself with stories of a fabricated past, until the truth of who she is can no longer be concealed.
