...best friends forever?

Drama

During a long, hot summer in seventies London, young neighbors Holly and Marina make a childhood pact to be friends forever. For Marina, troubled, fiercely independent, determined to try everything, Holly stays the only constant in a life of divorcing parents, experimental drugs and fashionable self-destruction. But for Holly, a friendship that has never been equal gradually starts to feel like a trap.

VIBE

A sun-drenched, yet bittersweet, exploration of female friendship's complexities. It captures the heady freedom of youth and the dawning realization that not all bonds last forever, tinged with the hazy glow of the 1970s.
