Past and present collide when an Iranian American trans man time-travels through the LGBTQ+ archive on a dizzying and erotic quest to unravel his own sexual desires. Rendered in hybrid documentary and stylized dramatizations, DESIRE LINES is a provocative exploration of evolving trans sexuality and identity directed by Jules Rosskam (Paternal Rites, Against a Trans Narrative) and featuring Theo Germaine and Aden Hakimi.

Ahmad is a trans man reconciling his gender and sexual identities. Looking for answers he delves into the LGBTQ+ archives, which starts a time-traveling adventure through cruising history that includes real archival footage and contemporary oral histories from transmen across North America.
