Sex Is a God Thing

Michelle and Aiesha have just buried their father. They have also just met and learned that they are sisters; both queer and both grappling with the unraveling of their respective romantic partnerships. Grief takes many forms, and this night drunk Aiesha has dragged a hesitant Michelle out to a queer party. They both find comfort in strangers on the dance floor. Then the two long lost sisters go deeper over a flask of whiskey, listening to the waves of Lake Michigan, set aglow by the moon. (Pan African Film Festival)
