How to Have Sex is a vibrant, authentic portrayal of the agonies, ecstasies and ride or die intensity of young female friendship. Set amid the chaotic party scene of Malia, three British teens, Tara (Mia McKenna Bruce), Skye (Lara Peake) and Em (Enva Lewis), embark on a rites of passage holiday of drinking, clubbing and hookups, meant to be the best summer of their lives. As they move through hazy clubs, frantic pool parties and sun drenched streets, they confront the complexities of sex, consent, self-discovery and shifting friendships. With luminous visuals and a pitch perfect soundtrack, Manning Walker’s debut offers a compassionate yet confronting take on the excesses of teenage holidays, painting a painfully familiar portrait of how first sexual experiences should or should not unfold.
