Socially awkward lesbian teenager AJ begrudgingly joins her family on a seaside vacation. She finds herself constantly at odds with her painfully “normal” mother and older sister, neither of whom can understand why she doesn't smile more or “dress like a girl.” Her anticipated “week of hell” takes an unexpected turn when Isla, a free-spirited and sun-loving lifeguard, catches her eye.
Filled to the brim with teen angst and romantic fumbling, Marley Morrison presents a “sure-fire crowd pleaser” (CineVue) in her directorial feature debut, which has been hailed as “one of the most astute movies about adolescence in recent memory” (Shadows on the Wall).
“Authentic… relevant and reflective of the queer Gen Z experience.” –Little White Lies
