520    "Meet little Maurice Vellekoop, the youngest of five 
       children raised by Dutch immigrants in the 1970s in a 
       middle class suburb of Toronto. He loves watching Cher and
       Carol Burnett on TV, making clothes for his best friend's 
       Barbie dolls, and helping his mum with her hair salon 
       which she runs out of the basement of the house. In short:
       he is really, really gay. Which is a huge problem, because
       his family is part of the Christian Reformed Church, a 
       strict Calvinist sect, which is not accepting of 
       homosexuality to say the least. We see him participating 
       in weekly church services, catechism classes, going to 
       Christian schools, his stint as a member of the Calvinist 
       Cadet Corps. Vellekoop struggles through all of this, 
       until he finally graduates high school and gets accepted 
       into the Ontario College of Art and Design in 1982. It is 
       there that his life truly changes, thanks in no small part
       to his taking a class called "Plays In Performance" taught
       by the wildly flamboyant and brilliant Paul Baker. Baker 
       is the first "out" gay man Maurice has ever met, and the 
       two soon become close friends. It is through witnessing 
       Baker's functional relationship with his long-time partner
       Martin that Maurice finally starts to reconcile with 
       himself and begin to accept who he actually is. But it's 
       going to be a long, messy, difficult, and occasionally 
       hilarious process. I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together 
       is an enthralling portrait of what it means to be true to 
       yourself, to learn to forgive, and to be an artist."--
