The film was based entirely on true events.Synopsis
Narrated by DiBenedetto, the short begins with the birth of the lead character, Ashley, her mothers, Karen (Levy) and Vicki (Lazar) at the scene. The story moves on where Ashley describes her early troubles of being an in-the-closet heterosexual. One event included a church sermon that rejected opposite-sex relationships except for reproduction; another detailed her playing house with her friends.
