Something You Said Last Night

Synopsis

FIRST FEATURE FILM - PACKAGING STAGE Something You Said Last Night explores the dynamics of the family unit and the ways in which we fail to see members of our families for who they are, and what they struggle with. Over the course of seven days, we follow Ren, an unemployed, trans girl, in her mid-twenties, and her Canadian-Italian family on a summer vacation. As tensions mount, the co-dependent nature of the family unravels as they test each other’s limits, and cross one another’s boundaries.
