Fitting In

Lindy is sixteen and ready to start a sexual relationship with her boyfriend, Adam, when doctors tell her she has a reproductive condition that alters how she understands her own body. The diagnosis unsettles her assumptions about femininity, strains her bond with her mother, Rita, and pushes her to look for ways to approach intimacy that she had never considered. What begins as a plan for a first time becomes a reckoning with how she sees herself, and with the people around her.

Fitting In is a Canadian comedy-drama written and directed by Molly McGlynn, produced by Jennifer Weiss. It is McGlynn's second feature as director, following Mary Goes Round, and she drew on her own experience in writing the screenplay. Maddie Ziegler plays Lindy, with Emily Hampshire as Rita, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai as Adam, Ki Griffin as Jax, Djouliet Amara as Vivian and Dale Whibley as Chad. Thirty-one performers and fifty-four crew members are credited.
