Nova

Sam is a transgender teenager who is still reeling from his parents recent divorce. His father, David, has responded to the divorce and his son's estrangement by isolating himself and fixating on his hobby of repairing the old Chevy Nova in his garage. While visiting for the weekend, Sam attempts to reconnect with his estranged father by taking it a upon himself to fix the car for his dad.

Directed by Gabe Sheets, Nova leans on a strong ensemble — Ari Fromm, Ford Fanter, Beth Geiger — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2022.
