Transamerica

ActionAdventureComedyDrama103 min

Felicity Huffman is a transgender woman whose plans are upended when she learns she fathered a son she never knew about, now a teenage runaway hustling on the streets of New York. She heads there to deal with the news and winds up on the road with him, hiding the truth of their connection as the trip stretches from bus stations to motels and one strained stop after another. Opposite Huffman, Kevin Zegers is the wary teenager at the center of the story, turning their cross-country detour into an uneasy collision between a parent and son meeting under false pretenses.
