Were the World Mine (2008)

In the confining corridors of a nondescript high school, Timothy, a gay student shunned and belittled, seeks refuge in the resplendent world of musical daydreams. His life takes a turn towards the extraordinary when his eccentric drama teacher entrusts him with the role of Puck in the school's production of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Diving into the text, Timothy stumbles upon an arcane recipe woven into the script, a formula to create the play's mystical, purple love-pansy. This love-potion, once a mere figment of his imagination, becomes a reality in Timothy's hands, rekindling his dwindling spirit. Equipped with this magical pansy, he embarks on a mischievous journey to reshape his rigid town, beginning with the handsome rugby jock that has long been the object of his affection. As the love-potion takes effect, the town's inhabitants, including family, friends, and foes, find themselves compelled to experience life through Timothy's musical perspective, their reality turned on its head as they unwittingly fall under the pansy's gay spell. "Were the World Mine" is a captivating tale of acceptance and love, showcasing how the course of true love is often a turbulent voyage. It's an intoxicating blend of high school drama, vibrant musical numbers, and a hint of Shakespearean magic, leading to a ride that is as unpredictable as it is unforgettable.
