Enter the joyful and exuberant world of nine-year-old Jackie, who loves lip-synching, sweeties and trying on his Mum’s clothes. Jackie dreams of winning the approval of Tegan, the girl next door - and won’t let the Scottish weather or health-conscious Mum stand in the way. With a delicious candy-coloured palette and 90s aesthetic, Just Jackie is a queer, quirky, bubblegum pop fantasy about friendship and self-acceptance for anyone who’s ever used their toothbrush as a microphone.
