In the devoutly Catholic world of a Midwestern high school, sixteen-year-old Alice, played by Natalia Dyer, finds her faith and innocence colliding with a powerful new curiosity. After an innocent AOL chat takes a suggestive turn, she is consumed by a whirlwind of guilt and burgeoning desire, a conflict only intensified by the judgmental whispers of her peers. Seeking purification, Alice attends a rigorous weekend retreat led by the intense Father Murphy Timothy Simons, where every thought is scrutinized. Directed by Karen Maine, this sharp and heartfelt coming-of-age story navigates the hilarious and poignant tension between teenage awakening and rigid dogma. As Alice, alongside friends like the more experienced Laura Alisha Boe, confronts the confusing messages about sexuality and sin, she begins a private journey of self-discovery that challenges everything she’s been taught to believe.
