This 2005 documentary film presents the unique journey embarked by the lead singer of All the Pretty Horses.

Minneapolis quartet All the Pretty Horses specializes in a style its members call “dark glam” — classic punk rock sounds featuring heavy guitar play — performed while stunning the audience with their outrageous costumes.

On stage, wearing a vinyl corset and stiletto boots, s/he’s Venus. At home in Minneapolis with Lynette, her wife of twenty years, s/he’s Steve. Born male, Venus is transgender. S/he’s “in between” — taking female hormones but not planning to have sexual reassignment surgery. To some, s/he’s a pioneer, courageously exploring a brave new world of gender identity, free of categorization. To others, s/he’s a freak.

Presented as part of Reel Q, the local LGBTQ film festival which is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
