Mortified she leaves and finally accepts an invitation from a lesbian friend to go to an all-girl bar that night. She's surprised to see Sabrina there dancing with women.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Chris Deacon made this as a thesis film at Ryerson — it played queer festivals throughout 1997-98 before vanishing into obscurity.
This short captures a specific late-90s moment when 'lesbian chic' was peaking in media, but actual queer women's stories were still rare — making its casual treatment of Sabrina's sexuality quietly radical.
