ESTA NOCHE follows Benni, a gay, homeless, 17-year-old Latin American runaway, and his much older boyfriend, RJ/25, on the day of Benni's first drag competition — which gets turned upside down when Benni suffers a brutal assault and is left wondering whether or not he can continue doing the show... and if so, why.

After surviving a violent assault, Julia Trujillo, a trans woman, moves to Los Angeles hoping for a fresh start. Alone in a new city, she dives back into dating, only to find herself navigating a series of unfortunate dates with men who see her as a fantasy rather than a person. As the dates unravel and her loneliness grows, Julia is forced to confront what she's truly searching for, and what it may cost her to keep looking.
