A provocative, dreamlike exploration of adolescent desire and female sexuality that blurs fantasy with reality in a deliberately unsettling manner.
Reluctantly, a sulky adolescent returns to her parents' house for yet another boring summer vacation, dabbling in desire and the art of desirability, eventually mixing reality with vision, caged fantasies with the fierce female sexuality.
