Might a genetic mutation be the very thing that allows this nice Jewish butch lesbian to be fully seen at last? Meet Sarah, 57. Lesbian? For sure. Jewish? Yes and no. Mother? In all but one sense. Trans? No, just often mistaken as such. Breast cancer survivor? Well, that’s the plan, the survival bit, but without the cancer or the breasts. Not QuiteThat is an intimate and insightful exploration of how we are seen, how we see ourselves, and why it matters.

For Sarah, identity is multifaceted, and her journey as a breast cancer previvor adds yet another layer of complexity to her sense of self. As Sarah reflects on her experiences and challenges societal norms, viewers are invited to contemplate the significance of how we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us.

Through Sarah’s story, Not Quite That delves into the nuances of identity, belonging, and the importance of being fully seen and understood. Ultimately, this documentary serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of human identity and the significance of acceptance and visibility in shaping our sense of self.
