Plus, freshly popped popcorn! Don’t miss it!

    Pretend Plumber: An Adventure tells the story Sarassine Anfang, a precocious, queer-curious Los Angeles teen, who grows so fed up with her wealthy, dysfunctional Jewish Hancock Park family that she decides to run away to her grandfather's Wilshire condo, and become a plumber. But her chocolate eating grandmother and her distracted parents have other ideas.
