A moderately interesting cinema verite, homemeade documentary about the return of a transgender woman to her high school reunion. Her brother, Marc, dominates the story as a frustrated, angry man who sustained a serious brain injury in an auto accident. His sudden rages and constant need to verbally overwhelm everyone with the story of his injury and suffering makes him the center of the family's problems and the story's compelling interest. Kimberly remains in the background, offering very little about her life apart from having successfully undergone gender reassignment surgery. Fortunately, that is no longer a big social issue and she takes second place in interest to her brother in the story.
