Transamerica Movie Summary:
Felicity Huffman got a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance in this drama. Although born male, Bree (Huffman) is well into the process of changing gender. She dresses like a woman and looks forward to the surgery that will make her one. But Bree has a 17-year-old son, and though they don't know each other, she must come to terms with him before having the surgery. Without revealing her identity, Bree bails him out of jail in New York, and the two of them drive to L.A. with a lot happening along the way.
