Casa Susanna plot
Documentary about Casa Susanna, a bungalow park established in New York State in the 1960s as a refuge for transvestites, often accompanied by their wives. We see images and interviews from and about various visitors to the park, which offered total freedom for men who in the 1960s could not express themselves in mainstream society.

In the 1950s and 60s, Casa Susanna was a place where drag queens and transgender women could be completely themselves. Lifshitz uses the limited silent footage and primarily posed photos to support the story of Casa Susanna, through the eyes of a regular guest and the descendants of two others. Those stories do not differ much from one another, and due to the lack of archival material, Lifshitz lapses into statically filmed talking heads, making this resemble a radio documentary more than a film.
