How to Have Sex – Written and Directed by Molly Manning Walker
Three British teenage girls (Mia McKenna-Bruce, Lara Peake, and Enva Lewis) go on a rites-of-passage holiday, drinking, clubbing, and hooking up in what should be the best summer of their lives. As they dance their way across the sun-drenched streets of Malia, they find themselves navigating the complexities of sex, consent, and self-discovery.
