A bullied and demoralized gay student at an all-boys school uses a magical flower derived from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream' to turn many in his community gay, including a comely rugby player for himself.

Gay high schooler Timothy receives confusing signals from his rugby player crush. In the way of their love: a homophobic rugby team. But when the rugby team is all cast in the school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, supporting Timothy as the lead, Timothy discovers magic in the pages that allows him to make people fall in love with others of the same sex - and the town is never the same.—VicariousPleasure

Synopsis

After his eccentric teacher casts him as Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Timothy stumbles upon a recipe hidden within the script to create the plays magical, purple love-pansy.

Armed with the pansy, Timothys fading spirit soars as he puckishly imposes a new reality by turning much of his narrow-minded town gay, beginning with the rugby-jock of his dreams. Ensnaring family, friends and enemies in this heart-wrenching chaos, Timothy forces them to live his kind of life for themselves. The course of true love never did run smooth, but by the end of the film (based on director Tom Gustafsons prolific short film Fairies) the bumpy ride comes to a conclusion. [D-Man2010]
