My Sunnyside

The greatest love story of the year. “This is the most traditional progressive wedding you’ll ever go to,” declares the officiant at Jo and Allie’s wedding—a love story that defies the odds. Jo, a trans man, and Allie, a trans woman, grew up in deeply religious communities, never hearing the word “transgender.” Yet, decades later, their paths cross, and together they begin the journey of love, family, and transition—despite obstacles, strained relationships, and outside pressure that at times threatens to pull them apart. As they prepare for their wedding, we witness their evolving identities and the challenges of stepping into new roles—both in their personal lives and within their careers. Jo, a dynamic leader in the New York start-up scene, and Allie, a beloved biology lecturer, redefine what it means to build a home and a future together. But just as their dreams are taking shape, Jo is diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Faced with an uncertain future, they discover that their love—like their transition—is an act of resilience, courage, and profound transformation. My Sunnyside is a moving portrait of love, identity, and the beauty of creating family on your own terms.
