Some things are best kept secret.

DramaRomance

Minnie Goetze is a 15-year-old aspiring comic-book artist, coming of age in the haze of the 1970s in San Francisco. Insatiably curious about the world around her, Minnie is a pretty typical teenage girl. Oh, except that she’s sleeping with her mother’s boyfriend.

VIBE

This film feels like a sun-drenched, hazy dive into the messy, exhilarating, and often uncomfortable landscape of burgeoning female desire and self-discovery. It's an intimate, unvarnished portrait, both tender and audacious, capturing the restless spirit of youth against a vibrant 70s backdrop. Expect a deeply personal and reflective journey.
