We’re gonna party like it’s 1999 in this musically charged Canadian feature that spans the turn of the millennium. Trans man Angus (Jordan Dawson) navigates a day job and his transition while rehearsing late nights in the teeny Canadian town of Emmett Lake alongside his indie bandmates, including girlfriend Isis (June Laporte).

But when they move to Toronto and gain momentum as The New Normals, temptation awaits in the form of new guitarist Lugh (Daniel Gravelle). Can Angus balance being true to himself with the pressures of fame, or is the band headed for a bad breakup? This bracingly authentic feature from actor-turned-director Karen Knox, expanding on the short of the same name, is adapted from Kayt Burgess’ award-winning book Heidegger Stairwell.
