Synopsis
The true-life love story between a spirited cowboy and a city gal, with a big twist. Robert Eads is a female-to-male transsexual suffering from ovarian cancer who faces sure death after 20 doctors have refused to treat him for his condition. Far away from Atlanta's city lights, Robert makes a life for himself and his family-his two families: his biological family of two parents, two sons by birth, and a darling three-year-old grandson; and his chosen family of two female-to-male transsexual sons, Maxwell and Cass. Robert is falling in love with Lola Cola, a sultry male-to-female transsexual, but as hard as he tries to resist, in the face of his impending death, the romance blooms beautifully in bittersweet irony. The chronicle follows the final year of Robert Eads' life in which his final dream is to make it to the Southern Comfort Conference in Atlanta, the nation's preeminent transgendered gathering.
