Overview

The story of two former Orthodox Jews, Chaim Levin and Lieba Swartz-Brownstein, in their unique journeys to becoming openly queer. Chaim, from the Chabad Lubavitch community in Crown Heights, starts his journey reading the anti-homosexuality verse for his Bar Mitzvah and ends it by defeating the conversion therapy group JONAH in court, proving them of fraud. Lieba starts her journey by converting into Jewish orthodoxy and moving to New York to study at Yeshiva University and ends it by falling in love with a woman and having a coming out party. Chaim and Lieba's stories are contrasted with the Orthodox perspective with interviews and scenes from the community themselves.
