SOUTHEAST PREMIERE
At 16, Tim is a bright student and gifted athlete. However, he finds himself walking on eggshells - and for good reason. His suburban high school is a festering hotbed of bullying, social media intimidation and virulent homophobia, and Tim’s sexuality is evolving. The one upside is his friendship with the handsome Francis. When the unthinkable happens, Tim copes with his grief and anxiety by throwing himself back into competitive running, a sport he’d abandoned. 1:54 mixes a thrilling sports saga with a dark drama of adolescent angst.
