Inescapable on the street, in  school, and even at home. A black hole forever trying to pull them in. Claire knows what they’re \u003ci\u003esupposed\u003c\/i\u003e to be—and according to their Catholic family, that’s definitely not someone who’d kiss a girl at a party. When the news gets out, the questions get hard: Is Claire having a girlfriend the thing that feels wrong?

But as Claire’s  release gets closer so does the question: Can Claire stay sober and true  in a world seemingly never made for them?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet in 1980s Troy, New York, \u003ci\u003eConstellations\u003c\/i\u003e is a portrait of a queer teen living in the margins but determined to  find their way ahead.
