This is the award-winning powerful debut by Molly Manning-Walker, a London based cinematographer whose debut feature won Un Certain Regard at last year's Cannes Film Festival.
Starring this year's BAFTA Rising Star Award, Mia McKenna-Bruce, three British teenage girls go on a rites-of-passage holiday - drinking, clubbing and hooking up, in what should be the best summer of their lives. The picture is skittish, spirited and very funny, and at the same time troubling and bruisingly sad. Molly Manning-Walker is a new British talent to look out for, and was also the cinematographer on Scrapper.
