Plot
Brandon Teena is a new face in the isolated community of Falls City and it's not long before he has charmed the locals, in particular the women, who find his boyish good looks and gentle charm magnetic. Brandon has a secret though, and while in itself the truth is neither dark nor malevolent, in a place such as Falls City, the revelation of his true identity will have disturbing and destructive consequences. Boys Don't Cry is an incredibly powerful and at times horrifying drama, with some superb performances and an emotional punch which leaves you contemplating the bruises long after the end credits have rolled.
