A tough but hopeful coming-of-age drama about coming out, this is the story of Lily, a girl with a secret, on the cusp of becoming a young woman. With her best friend, the fiercely loyal and flamboyant Simon, she navigates the treacherous waters of school life. When a misunderstanding with the beautiful and popular Violet leads to a vicious attack, Lily is faced with the greatest challenge of her young life. Who We Love is a film about standing up to bullying in all forms and rallying around those we love who are still learning how to be who they are and how to believe in themselves. Note this presentation will conclude with a post-screening Q&A recording featuring IFF’s Enda Murray interviewing the filmmakers.

"Sparky performances and a chirpy pop score tick plenty of teen movie boxes but this is a subtly unconventional talking point film with plenty to recommend it to audiences."
