Bell
Sylvia and Ash are two trans women lovers living together on the Lower East Side. Between evenings in the Village and mornings at the local cafe, life is peaceful enough. But when another trans woman from Sylvia's past enters her life again, Sylvia and Ash's relationship is thrown into turmoil. Faced with her girlfriend's concern, Sylvia is left to deal with a world of fear, control, kink, and lust in New York City's trans community.
