How to Have Sex
by Molly Manning Walker
Synopsis
Three British teenage girls go on a rite-of-passage holiday – drinking, clubbing and hooking up, in what should be the best summer of their lives.
In her vibrant debut feature, festival favourite Molly Maning Walker (Good Thanks, You? – Cannes 2020 Critics Week) casts a witty, nuanced and ultimately devastating look at the intricacies of female friendship and teenage sexuality.
