Karyn Dwyer: Christina Cox
built 608 days ago
At the end of the night, the viewer gets a mild glimpse into some gay bashing as Maggie (Karyn Dwyer) leaves the bar, weirdly enough, through a dark alley. No sooner does the harassing begin when Kim (Christina Cox) comes trapsing through the alley with her beat up van/home, discouraging the group of misfits of any sort of violence.

Will her mother cope with her recent divorce and her daughter's lifestyle?

MAGGIE (KARYN DWYER) used to be a straight-A student. Now she's not an A-student anymore, let alone straight. Having dropped out of law school, she's working at Vancouver's Ten Percent Books. Catastrophe strikes: her mother and her brother descend on her, and so Maggie sublets a loft for all three of them to live in. Right before mom arrives, Maggie falls in love with Kim, a blonde, nomadic artist (Christina Cox). The rest of the film is Maggie's efforts to keep from blurting out the truth about her lesbianism to her mom.

The film tells the story of Maggie (Karyn Dwyer), a young lesbian who falls in love with Kim (Christina Cox), a wandering artist specializing in erotic body paintings. The two move in together, only to be joined by Paul (Kevin Mundy), Maggie's strapping teenage brother, and Lila (Wendy Crewson), her sexually repressed mother whose marriage recently ended. It's not easy sharing a house when you're in the closet, and the rest of the film follows the semi-farcical complications surrounding Maggie's romance, her various attempts to tell her mother she's gay, and her efforts to cultivate her identity as both a politically active feminist and a lesbian.
