🎬 Girls Like Magic

Maggie (nicknamed "Magic"), a naive and eager-to-please Englishwoman living in Los Angeles with her rigid boyfriend Jacob, feels increasingly disconnected from her own desires. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Jamie, her new upstairs neighbor—a cynical, hard-edged lesbian nursing the wounds of a messy breakup. When Maggie arrives at Jamie's door with ice cream and alcohol to comfort her, a quick friendship sparks between the two. As they spend more time together navigating LA’s nightlife and queer social scene, the boundaries of their friendship begin to blur, forcing Maggie to question her heterosexuality and confront her growing romantic feelings for Jamie.
