Prodigal Sons

Documentary in which transsexual filmmaker Kimberly Reed and her brother Marc meet up at their 20th anniversary school reunion and try to rekindle a difficult relationship.

Filmmaker Kimberly Reed hasn't seen her older brother for years and as they reunite for their 20th anniversary school reunion, a lot has changed.

Marc was a school underachiever, poor at sports and pretty hopeless academically, and deeply insecure about being an adopted son. He has subsequently had a major brain injury which has left him prone to violent mood swings.

Back at school, Kimberly was called Paul and was the ultimate sports jock, straight-A student and school hero, and this is the first time Marc has seen his brother since she became his sister.

Their new relationship starts off well and takes a surreal turn when Marc discovers his birth grandparents were Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth. But soon the old resentments begin to show and the reunion takes a turn for the worse.
