New Zealand Film Festival Presents – How To Have Sex
The setting is the Greek town of Malia, where three teenage girls—Tara (Mia McKenna-Bruce), her sister Skye (Lara Peake) and their friend Em (Enva Lewis)—are taking their first unaccompanied holiday abroad while awaiting their exam results.
Em is a straight-A student, but Tara and Sky aren’t, and they don’t seem to care too much. The focus of the trip is to have sex, and Tara bears a particular burden, being the only virgin of the trio. At the hotel resort, Tara strikes up a friendship with their neighbor, the funny, flirtatious, self-deprecating northerner Badger (Shaun Thomas), but soon finds herself drawn to his best friend Paddy (Sam Bottomley), a much more sharp and cynical player…” —Damon Wise, Deadline
