Synopsis

31 Candles

Leo, a 30-year-old New Yorker who is having a Bar Mitzvah after meeting Eva, his longtime summer camp crush. In order to finish his mitzvah assignment and perhaps mature, he has to deal with, ex-partners, family members, and more.

Love, Simon

Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it's a little more complicated. He hasn't told his family or friends that he's gay, and he doesn't know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he's fallen for online.
