Young and Wild

When you’re 17 you want to explore everything: visit new places, experience new bodies, love different people. But what happens when your curiosity is never satisfied? Daniela is a 17-year-old girl from Chile, who wants to know everything there is to know about sex. She uses her blog jovenyalocada (youngandwild) to share her sexual exploits and channel her curiosity, as her mother is a devotee of the Evangelical church and is all about purity and abstinence as far as her daughter is concerned. When Daniela is expelled from school due to a sex scandal, her parents force her to start working, but the voracious 17-year-old gets involved in a love triangle with Tomas and Antonia. In their inventive debut, Marialy Rivas mixes a fresh perspective, influenced by music videos and the Internet, with the traditional narrative elements of a coming-of-age story to make a provocative statement about teenage angst. And if the World Cinema Screenwriting Award at Sundance isn’t enough to get your attention, then Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín on producer duty will. Ph.V.
