| Better Than Chocolate: 1999: with Karyn Dwyer and Wendy Crewson Maggie (Karyn Dwyer) works, and temporarly lives, in a gay bookshop. She has dropped out of school and makes extra money by performing at the local lesbian club. One day she meets Kim (Christina Cox), the woman of her dreams, who is doing the "on-the-road-thing" with her van and makes money by drawing peoples portraits. They fall instantly for eachother and when Kim's van is towed away they move in together in the apartment that Maggie has just subletted from a woman that gives sex demonstrations and who has left most of her "toys" lying around the house. Meanwhile Maggie's mother has found out about Maggie dropping out of school and, because her own marriage has just ended, she and Peter (Maggie's brother) are on their way to come and stay with Maggie. They arrive one day early, almost walking in on an erotic body painting session of the two girls in love. Maggie's mother does not know of her daughter's sexual preference, but her brother does, after secretly finding out at night, when he saw the girls making love and making a little too much noise doing so. Kim thinks Maggie should tell her mother and she herself almost does, Maggie tries several times, but her mother doesn't want to listen it seems. Interwoven is the story of transgender Judy (Peter Outerbridge) who is deeply in love with the bookstore's owner Francis (Ann-Marie MacDonald), who's more concerned with customs, because they are holding back movies and books, claiming they are obscene. All these problems come to a litteraly explosive climax, where transgender girl gets bookstore owner's lesbian, brother gets omni-sexual girl, mother gets her chocolates and lesbian girlie-girl gets butchy other lesbian girl. |
