It starts simple enough. In town on a stopover, years after she transitioned, Kris is meeting her college ex-girlfriend Naomi again for the first time. But seeing an ex is never simple. As the evening unfolds, the past inevitably creeps back into their conversations. Despite their best intentions, small talk and innocuous comments remind them of old resentments, uncovering wounds, until they reveal shocking truths for the first time.
Featuring compelling performances by Pooya Mohseni and Lynn Chen, Mari Walker’s first feature is a classic two-hander that builds to its dramatic conclusion with a deft touch. Ruminating on themes of family, regret, aging, and transitioning, See You Then is a memorable profile of two women finding their way through change.
