Taking place in Hollywood on Christmas Eve, Tangerine follows the lives of two trans sex workers, Sin-Dee and Alexandra. After Alexandra tells Sin-Dee that her pimp (and boyfriend) has been seeing a cisgender woman, Sin-Dee storms Hollywood in search of her boyfriend's lover. She eventually crosses paths with the woman, Dinah, and, as expected, a fight breaks out. However, things take an unexpected turn when Sin-Dee takes Dinah to a local bar where Alexandra is performing to see her show. The movie offers an interesting insight into the lives of these women, and how one man can manipulate them all.
