Thrifted is a queer love story with a twist of time travel. When a young couple stumbles across a second-hand treasure, they’re pulled 70 years into the past — where one camera holds the truth, and the rest of us can only imagine.

At its heart, Thrifted is about love that transcends time, and the small, everyday objects that hold extraordinary stories.
