On the brink of inheriting the position of The Bearded Woman; matriarchal leader to an outcast community of circus performers, a young woman defies her overbearing mother and runs away instead.

Film Synopsis: 

Diego is being a dick, and Tish doesn’t know why. Is he jealous because his little sister is an incredible artist while he’s just a poser playing JV soccer (sorry, "football")? Or is it because their parents have been fighting ever since they immigrated to Canada? Tish is gonna find out.
