Synopsis

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.

The First Time

A spark of attraction smolders, then ignites, between two teens from different high schools who meet by chance at a party.
