Better Than I Was

How can you begin to untangle the roots when you can't even recognize the flower?

After six years of estrangement, Gene returns home for Thanksgiving. In the events leading up to dinner, Gene attempts to reconnect with their sister and brother, both resentful of Gene's long absence, while the unwavering conservatism of their parents poses a challenge to Gene's authenticity.
