Overview

In 1992, Laura and Thea live together in a punk house in Washington, D.C. Thea, a brash and unapologetic trans girl, lives the punk life to its fullest. But Laura leaves her leather and safety pins at home each day when she leaves for work in a government job—hiding her anti-establishment lifestyle from her co-workers and her mainstream tastes from her housemates.When she invites Thea with her to see a Vermeer exhibit, Laura finds the courage to open up to Thea while viewing her favorite painting. Thea—normally critical of mainstream art—is charmed by both the painting and by Laura.

At first, David and Evan found their silver lining in togetherness, but as the months wore on, it became easier to forget to pay attention, to forget the necessity of deliberate connection. David’s seven-months-of-quarantine breakdown wasn’t, as one might expect, about the outside world, but instead about loneliness even in partnership. David and Evan recommit to finding the silver that lines togetherness; coming to each other with love and intent over, and over, and over again.
