O and X are nonbinary teenagers attending a co-ed Catholic high school where their brother teaches music. During a Zoom interview, sibling tensions are revealed and religion, art, and gender are discussed. O and X are angry about the Catholic Church and their school’s rigid view on gender, which has put them both on thin ice. One has been expelled for replacing a statue at school with one they made of St. Marino whom the church views as St. Marina and the other has just turned down a role in the school play, “Our Town” because their gender identity was not respected in the casting process. Their brother T is also in trouble at school after he tells his students he is questioning his faith.
