Premise

The story centers around 16-year-old Lindy, who is diagnosed with a rare reproductive condition, MRKH syndrome. The diagnosis disrupts her understanding of womanhood and sexual identity, and throws her relationships with her new boyfriend, her friends at her new high school, and her mother into disarray.[4]

The film is semi-autobiographical, as its creator, Molly McGlynn, was diagnosed with MRKH syndrome as a teenager.[5] In June 2022, the casting of Ziegler and Hampshire was announced.[5] Principal photography took place in Sudbury, Ontario, from May 30 to June 27, 2022.[6][7]

Retitled Fitting In, the film was shown at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival[8] and the 2023 Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival in Ontario, Canada, in September 2023,[9][10] and at the 2023 Vancouver International Film Festival[11] and the 2023 Calgary International Film Festival, both beginning that month.[12]
