Preferring provincial life in rural Northland, transgender couple Willow (She) and Ren (They) are "small-town famous.” Already a long-term couple, their relationship takes an exciting new direction when both simultaneously begin their journeys on gender-affirming hormone therapy.
While welcoming physical changes, unexpected shifts in their internal geography have a seismic impact on the way they each relate to cis men and women, themselves, and each other.
In this talk-show meets reality television meets sketch comedy appearance, the couple interview one another, digressing into storytelling to answer audience questions from their unique perspectives.
With grit, honesty, and tenderness, Willow and Ren share the surprising joys and heartbreaks of re-mapping the way to love when nurture mediates nature.
This premiere season is intended to gain feedback from gender-diverse peers and allies before it goes on a regional tour in New Zealand later in 2020.
