Combining interviews, vintage school hygiene films, popular TV, and dramatic narratives, this anything-but-typical coming-of-age story plunges into the adolescent experiences of young Lou, a 12-year-old girl figuring out her sexuality in the 1960s. Interwoven with Lou’s story are the mostly hilarious, sometimes painful recollections of adult lesbians who try to figure out how they ever got from there to here. Ultimately, Hide and Seek explores the ramifications of growing up in a world where you think everyone else is straight, and they assume you are.
