ABOUT

Angelo and Mila are fifteen and homeless. Angelo is chasing dreams while Mila is chasing survival. When they become roommates at a shelter for LGBTQ teens, they build a fragile bond that inspires them to reach for understanding and self-acceptance. Emilio Rodríguez’s coming-of-age story fearlessly explores the resilience of young gay and trans teens.
