HOW TO HAVE SEX

Molly Manning Walker

UK, Greece, Belgium

- 2023

National premiere

It’s supposed to be the best summer ever. Tara, Skye and Em touch down on the Greek party resort of Malia for the vacation to end all vacations, the girls trip every British teenager ticks off at the cusp of adulthood. Tara, the last remaining virgin, is on a mission to change that: and her bestfriends are causing chaos right alongside her. The 16-year-old drinks and dances her way through the strip —with all its messy bars and grimy nightclubs— until she meets a couple of boys on the neighbouring hotel balcony who she hopes might give her a summer to remember.
