A documentary that tells the story of love, marriage, and a fight for equality. Unlikely heroes—octogenarian Edie Windsor and attorney Roberta Kaplan—are on a quest for justice. Edie has been forced to pay a huge estate-tax bill upon the death of her spouse because the federal government has denied benefits to same-sex couples. In defense of her more than forty-year relationship with the love of her life, Edie decides to sue the United States government with Kaplan serving as her attorney.
