A fun little movie about our trip to Paris
In an alternative world, where San Francisco is powered by steam created in nearby nuclear plants and the sun is never visible due the low lying steam, a stressed out pipeline employee is struggling to cope with the loss of his wife, a rebellous teenager, the complexity of his job and the mounting pressure to find fast solutions in a tangled web of pipes. One mistake could cause a pipe to rupture and kill hundreds of people yet he needs to meet his demanding deadlines set by the corporate bosses that live above the steam line. As the pressure grows something has to give.
Shelly Prevost's Mom died after suffering for many years with Alzheimer's disease. Before her mother's disease had progressed too far, Shelly would spend every Wed. night having a piece of pie and a cup of hot tea. Shelly would tell her Mom stories that she could no longer remember and they would both laugh. After her Mom past, Shelly wonder what she had missed by not being able to hear her mom tell her own stories from her memories. While researching memory loss she stumble on a technique called "memory retrieval stimuli" . This technique uses something, e.g. smell of hot apple pie, to trigger a memory that was very difficult if not impossible to bring back on its own. Further, the memory is the same as when it was recorded, e.g. as a small child. That is why you remember things much bigger from your childhood than they really are. Shelly takes the artifacts of her Mother's estate to stimulate memories from her past and go back in time and get a better perspective of her Mom.
In October 2002, her picture appeared to the nation, from CNN to the New York Times, her sultry eyes seeming to tease us to discover who she is. "Please don't. I have a family..." were her last words. When four men discover that 17 year old Gwen Araujo, the girl with which they had been intimate was biologically male, they beat and strangle her to death. Unable to contain their secret, they are arrested for the murder 2 weeks later. They claim they acted in the heat of passion, provoked by what they see as Gwen's deceit. They ask for a verdict of manslaughter which could reduce the sentence to as little as four years. The prosecutor demands 1st degree murder. This film follows the real life drama of the case that attracted famous attorneys, spawned a made for TV movie, compelled almost 1000 people to attend Gwen Araujo's memorial service and thousands more to march in the streets demanding justice. As we uncover more about Gwen, the film also explores the provocative complexities of gender identity - what does it mean to be a man or a woman? How do we react when our expectations are violated?
