Taking us back to the era of early noughties indie rock, We Forgot to Break Up is a scintillating look at the toxic world of fame.
At the turn of the millennium, a group of friends and lovers form The New Normals, an indie rock band that transcends labels. Led by ambitious trans man singer-songwriter Evan (Lane Webber), when the group finds success his already fragile relationship with girlfriend Isis (June Laporte; You Can Live Forever, MGFF23) is pushed to the brink when he is tempted by new guitarist Lugh (Daniel Gravelle). Exploring the toxic world of fame and the sacrifices made along the way, this exciting, music-filled adaptation of Kayt Burgess’ Heidegger Stairwell boasts a soundtrack oozing with nostalgia.
