FIT is a drama about people in school who are just going about life, it turns out later on in the film that a number of the main cast are uncertain about their sexuality and the truth about them is revealed throughout the film, and they learn that no matter what their sexuality is, is doesn't really matter, and they can live life however they want, they don't have to conform to the norms, they just need to be happy with who they are.
