Three British teenage girls go on a rites-of-passage Greek holiday, drinking, clubbing and hooking up in what should be the best summer of their lives. As they dance their way across the sun-drenched streets of Malia, they find themselves navigating the complexities of sex, consent and self-discovery.
Captured with luminous visuals and a pitch-perfect soundtrack, Manning Walker’s daring directorial debut paints a painfully familiar portrait of young adulthood, and how first sexual experiences should – or shouldn’t – play out. This assured first feature earned her the Un Certain Regard Award at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
Content Warning: themes of sexual violence; strobe effects.
