Synopsis

At a rural Vermont dive bar called Babes, cribbage tournaments overlap afternoons of karaoke and nights of raucous queer dance parties. When the aging conservative townsfolk and the younger queer leftists begin sharing the same watering hole, a delicate allegiance flourishes.

Our take

The warm atmosphere of a queer-friendly small-town bar is palpable throughout this playful documentary short. Casual talking-head interviews with owners and regulars form a delightful patchwork, capturing both the joy and the challenges of accommodating difference while fostering community.
