97',

In 1950s and 60s America, Casa Susanna was a hidden retreat in the Catskill Mountains — a safe haven for trans women and crossdressers who were forced to hide from society. This documentary presents the lived memories of those who visited Casa Susanna, accompanied by photographs and archival footage. Through the stories of two main witnesses, it reveals the immense courage it took to live one’s identity during that era.
