Teenage Dirtbag
“Death is fleeting... Love lasts forever.”
Drama
A popular high school girl is harassed by a delinquent boy until they are placed in creative writing class together. Through written words, they create a bond, but tragically a bond that cannot withstand her social pressures or his brutal home life.
VIBE
This film feels like a raw, angsty dive into the turbulent waters of teenage disillusionment. It’s a melancholic, introspective journey where poetry becomes a fragile lifeline against the harsh realities of high school and broken homes.
