Being a teenager is hard, especially if you're questioning your sexuality and growing up in rural Ontrio in the mid '90s. Add to that a temperamental, homophobic father and a tenacious love for Madonna, and it's almost unbearable. Despite it all, Luke loves working on the family farm, and has the support of a group of local outsiders who invite him into their circle.

Spanning five years, Remember, Maggy? centres around polar-opposite sisters, Kate and Maggy, and their complex and often hilarious relationship. Kate, a widowed housewife and Maggy, a self-destructive actress, struggle to stay connected through the progression of their sharp-tongued Irish mother’s Alzheimer’s.

Estranged teenage cousins Eli and Kat have recently met online and bonded over their queer identities, but they have a limited understanding of each other’s very different realities. In Italy, soft-spoken Eli is trying to find a way to come out as trans to his conservative Roman Catholic family. In Canada, strong-headed Kat is desperate for connection to a culture and place she’s never known. Kat and her friend Hannah are the only ones who know that Eli is trans—not even his brother Matteo knows. And while her intentions are good, Kat’s decision to crowdfund a flight for Eli to attend Toronto Pride unknowingly outs him to the public, setting off a chain of events that leave the cousins and their loved ones reeling.
