It’s supposed to be the best summer ever. Tara, Skye and Em touch down on the Greek party
resort of Malia for the vacation to end all vacations, the girls trip every British teenager ticks
off at the cusp of adulthood. Tara, the last remaining virgin, is on a mission to change that:
and her best friends are causing chaos right alongside her. The 16-year-old drinks and
dances her way through the strip – with all its messy bars and grimy nightclubs – until she
meets a couple of boys on the neighboring hotel balcony who she hopes might give her a
summer to remember.
Making her debut feature with a vibrant, compassionate look at sex, friendship, consent and
the sweet smell of a boozy sunburned summer holiday, director and cinematographer Molly
Manning Walker (Scrapper, Good Thanks, You?) paints an exhilarating, moving, and
painfully familiar portrait of young adulthood.
