A dazzlingly original tale, complete with glittering musical numbers, "Were The World Mine" is a feel-good gay classic for a new generation. After being cast as the star of his high school’s production of a Midsummer Night’s Dream, gay town outcast Timothy discovers a magical love potion that has the power to turn complete strangers desperately in love. But what initially seems like a dream come true begins to get decidedly complicated when Timothy causes both the jock of his dreams and his best friend to fall in love with him. A gay take on the genre-defining teen comedies of John Hughes, "Were the World Mine" explores the pleasure and pain of coming of age as a gay man in a truly refreshing way.
