A prim and proper schoolgirl goes against her society grandmother's wishes when she dates a motorcycle-riding juvenile delinquent.

VIBE

This is a riotously campy, rock 'n' roll-infused romp that feels like a rebellious, stylized dream. It's an energetic, melodramatic ode to greaser culture and forbidden love, bursting with over-the-top performances and a playful, irreverent spirit. Expect a propulsive, feel-good ride through a vibrant, retro world.
