Familial relationships are hard. But sometimes, just plain existing is harder. This block of six films addresses the complexities of navigating the world you’re born into and how sometimes the people closest to you don’t understand you at all.
In the summer of 1999, Maggie returns to her county fair, determined to win her third Grand Champion title in pig breeding, upholding her family’s longstanding legacy. But as the pressure of competition mounts, she feels the suffocating weight of familial expectations stifling her identity. Struggling to connect with her parents, Maggie ventures into the forbidden county fair midway, discovering a vibrant world of independence and forming an unexpected connection that challenges her family's ideals. As she navigates the fine line between duty and desire, Maggie must confront what it truly means to find herself and to decide if winning is worth losing who she really is.
