She remains hidden as one of the most influential artists in electronic music of the last 20 years. The film follows Terre as she arrives at a nondescript hotel for a night and maps for viewers her conflict with gender and identity constructs, her frustration as an aging MTF trans person, and a brazen twist that becomes a radical gesture and astute political statement. The film reveals a rare shrewdness and a solitary struggle for autonomy and it’s precarious shifts.”]<\/p>\n
