In this dark comedy about masculinity, trans identity, and fatherhood, Mike, a young trans man, returns home to the rural American West after years away. In France Michelle is a Man’s Name asks what it means to belong, what it means to be a man, and what it means to reach out to those closest to you, who often feel the furthest away.
