“Entirely living up to its title, YOUNG AND WILD is an exuberant, horny, playful and raunchy explosion of teenage female impulses expressed in bracingly contemporary free-form style.” –Todd McCarthy, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

Synopsis:
Daniela (Alicia Rodríguez) is a sexually adventurous 17-year-old from a conservative Evangelical family in Santiago, Chile. Kicked out of school for being a “fornicator,” her overbearing mother (Aline Küppenheim) forces Daniela to work at a Christian television network as penance. There Daniela meets two love interests, her religious supervisor Tomás (Felipe Pinto) and her sultry and seductive co-worker Antonia (María Gracia Omegna). This provides fodder for Daniela’s sexually explicit blog, Young and Wild, a plot element that also enlivens the film: Film and new media collide, as SMS messages pop up on screen as they would on a desktop, and GIFs, pixilated images, and on-screen text add an innovative edge. Based on director Marialy Rivas’ own life and the blog she wrote as a teenager, YOUNG AND WILD is a bold, daring work that ventures beyond typical narratives of bisexuality and youth to raise provocative questions about identity, sexuality and the morals we live by.
