Maud's, a pioneering San Francisco bar, served as a haven for women from 1966 to 1989. The film explores the catalysts that led to its establishment, including the struggles of lesbians discovering their sexuality and the need for safe spaces. Founded by Ricky Streicher, Maud's aimed to provide an open and welcoming environment. Despite initial success, the bar's popularity waned in the late 1970s following Harvey Milk's assassination and the AIDS crisis, leading to a decline in patronage and eventual closure.
