But above all else, Kelsa adores animals. The film opens with the teen explaining her fondness for creatures whose names reflect their unique traits. The Pink fairy armadillo, the blue-footed booby, Scaptia beyonceae and the Blobfish are a few of her favorites: “What makes them unique,”she says excitedly to the camera, “is also what helps them survive.”charts her attempts to spend senior year of high school thriving.
Love — and its anxieties — couldn’t be further from Kelsa’s mind. That is, until she meets Khal , a sheepish boy with whom she’s partnered up on the first day of art class. As the laws of romantic comedies dictate, their diametrically opposed personalities make them a perfect match. Whereas Kelsa is witty and upbeat, Khal is self-effacing and timid. Ximena García Lecuona’s sturdy screenplay plots the pair’s courtship endearingly, framing their romance as the meeting of two awkward souls.
But the wheels of Kelsa and Khal’s romance are already in motion, resulting in a tense moment that causes a rift in the girls’ friendship. Khal faces similar turbulence when he realizes his childhood buddy Otis is transphobic. Unable to go to their usual confidants, Khal and Kelsa seek comfort in each other.
