## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Venus is a comedy film released in Canada on October ninth, two thousand seventeen, with a runtime of one hour and thirty-five minutes. The plot begins when Sid comes out as a woman and a fourteen-year-old boy named Ralph arrives at her door, announcing that Sid is his biological father. Ralph is surprised to discover that his father is now a woman, though he thinks having a transgender dad is pretty cool. However, Ralph has not yet told his mother and stepdad that he tracked down his biological father. Meanwhile, Sid has a boyfriend named Daniel, who has not yet told his own family about his relationship with Sid and is nowhere near ready to accept Ralph as a stepson and further complicate his life. Sid coming out creates a snowball effect that forces everyone involved out of the close.
