“Live, love and give as good as you get.”
Mia is a rebellious teenager on the verge of being kicked out of school. Her hard-partying mother, Joanne, neglects Mia's welfare in favor of her own, and her younger sister hangs out with a much older crowd. Sparks fly between Mia and Connor, Joanne's new boyfriend, and he encourages Mia to pursue her interest in dance. As the boundaries of the relationships become blurred, Mia and Joanne compete for Connor's affection.
This film feels unvarnished and emotionally charged, a raw exploration of a young woman's turbulent journey. It's a gritty, intimate portrait, full of simmering tension and melancholic longing, set against a backdrop of working-class life. The atmosphere is authentic, often uncomfortable, yet deeply compelling.
