At a swimming pool in 1987 El Paso, two outcast teenagers – Ari and Dante, become instant friends. But when Dante wants friendship to turn into romance, the conflicted Ari recoils. This beautiful, multilayered exploration of first love and self-acceptance casts a beguiling spell.
Why we like it: Like other must-see teen films before it (e.g., “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” “Lady Bird,” and “Love, Simon”), Lin-Manuel Miranda’s new production authentically explores the complexity of adolescence and the search for individual identity. Additionally, it serves as a unique example of queer representation in pop culture.
The film will be exclusively screened digitally on www.athicff.com.
