While working at a video store in the 90s, teenager Hayley needs help figuring out what being a lesbian entails. She turns to the movies, but finding meaningful queer representations proves challenging. How is Hayley supposed to become the best lesbian she can be, when there are no role models for her on screen? With a little help from her friends, Hayley must find a way to be herself, embrace her sexuality and impress the girl of her dreams.

Our take

Set in a video store, Hayley is starting to explore her sexuality. A charming, funny, movie-loving treasure hunt which uses the esthetics of the 1990s to show the importance of representation in cinema.
