Rebecca and her chronically unemployed butch girlfriend, O, have created a happy nest in their run-down walk-up in Queens, but things are starting to unravel.
The more O pushes Rebecca to stop hiding their relationship, the more Rebecca's work life — writing a textbook for seventh graders about the Holocaust — begins to bleed into her personal life: She starts meeting World War II Nazis on the 7 train, passing as hipster professionals in New York City but hungry to come out about who they really are. Back home in Queens, O is also sparring with convincingly real visions: her long estranged — and recently dead? — mother keeps showing up to argue with her about her choices.
This almost-love story explores the relationship between honesty and cruelty: How do you tell the truth about yourself when that truth might devastate the people you love?
