Eliza Hittman's powerful debut feature tells the story of Lila (Gina Piersanti, in a stunning debut), a fourteen year old spending a
hot summer in a blue-collar Brooklyn neighborhood far removed from the bustling city. Awkward, lonely, and often playing the
third wheel, Lila is determined to emulate the sexual exploits of her more experienced best friend. She fixates on Sammy, a
tough older guy, when she hears that "he'll sleep with anyone." Deluded in her romantic pursuit, Lila tries desperately to insert
herself into Sammy’s gritty world, but in doing so she puts herself into a dangerously vulnerable situation.
