Better than Chocolate

A light, funny and sensual film, it tells the story of Maggie (Karyn Dwyer) and her new love Kim (Christina Cox) Maggie has flunked law school and is working for uptight Frances, who runs a gay bookshop in Vancouver. Kim is a van-dwelling artist. It's love at first sight, but, just as their relationship is blossoming, Maggie learns that her mother and brother are coming to visit. They don't know about Maggies sexuality, that she now has a girlfriend or that she is flat-sitting for a woman who runs Safer Sex With Latex workshops. Will Maggie come clean and come out? Will her mother cope with her recent divorce and her daughter's lifestyle? Will Frances get her books back from customs? Will post-op transsexual Judy ever break through Frances' reserve and win her heart? And who will find the stash of sex-toys in the flat.....?

Described by the Jewish Telegraph as being 'as moving and as important as 'Schindler's List'.
