Summary:
In this debut feature by filmmaker Jessie Barr, sixteen-year-old Sophie Jones grapples with the recent death of her mother. Physical intimacy with another person becomes the only way for Sophie to feel anything. Eroticism becomes the antidote to her mother's death. She tries to keep her relationships strictly for her own empowerment and as a means of distraction. But what happens when Sophie finds that she does want more than physical intimacy but she's terrified of being vulnerable and receiving love or pleasure? What if none of Sophie's relationships with the boys in her life is the answer but they are all part of her journey back to healing herself? Ultimately, Sophie learns that sexual intimacy is a temporary salve but love is lasting medicine and her mother's death is the material of her life.
