RUNS IN THE FAMILY
Ian Gabriel; South Africa; 2023; 107 min.

Varun (Ace Bhatti), a former con artist, and his trans masculine drag performer son River (Gabe Gabriel) embark on a road trip across South Africa to break River’s estranged mother out of rehab. They are racing to get her before the drag competition that River hopes to win so that he can get his gender-affirming surgery. When River finds himself without a drag partner, River’s mother suggests that father and son should partner up for it. Desperate to get the money, River agrees! All hands are on board to get Varun ready, and it’s not an easy task! Wild road-trip escapades, intimate friendships, and an unconventional mother with secrets narrative makes RUNS IN THE FAMILY a wonderful feel-good comedy with a sweet father and son relationship at its heart!
