Imagine Me & You
Rachel is a nice girl who is going to marry Hector (‘Heck’), her longtime boyfriend. While she is working on the wedding preparations she meets wedding-florist Luce and unexpectedly falls in love with her and discovers what having love feelings for another woman is like. Rachel meets Luce a few times, hiding it from her family, especially her mother Tessa who contracted Luce. At the same time Heck tries to win his in-laws’ affections, especially father-in-law Ned, Rachel embarks on marriage and daily life with her husband, but her love and passion for Luce causes a secret affair between them and doubts in Rachel about the life she wants for herself. — Chockys

“Imagine me and you is known to be the very first feature length film, that is a true lesbian romcom. One of the first movies to play in theaters where it felt truly okay to be queer and to just have a cute cheesy romance, where no one dies or runs off to be straight again. It is timeless and still one of the best lesbian movies out there.”
