In 1986, a group of LGBTQ activists from Chicago’s “Boystown” are weary - they have been fighting City Hall to pass the “Gay Rights Ordinance” since 1972. Enter a group of Catholic Sisters who band together with the activists while embroiled in their own fight for equal rights within the church. And in the middle, Pablo, a musician searching for his place in the world. Inspired by true events, The Boys and the Nuns is an examination of identity, belonging, and faith, woven together with the music of the 80s, from Spanish language power ballads to synthy new wave to Chicago’s homegrown house music.
