Synopsis: Life is going great for Maggie (Karyn Dwyer). She has recently moved out on her own and found the woman of her dreams. However, things quickly change when her mother and brother are forced to move into Maggie's tiny loft sublet with her. All the freedom and space she has gained is compromised, and she believes she must keep her blossoming affair a secret. But it's the clandestine romance that inadvertently introduces her family to a host of new experiences, many of which are better than chocolate.

Comment: Karyn Dwyer propelled Better Than Chocolate to a 30 million dollar world box office and delivered a performance that prompted Internet voters to rate her lesbian love scenes the hottest ever. Better Than Chocolate ranked 31 on The Hollywood Reporter's list of best independent films that year. It won numerous awards and earned Karyn a loyal cult following when it became one of Canada's highest grossing English speaking movies.
