How to Have Sex (15)

Set against the chaotic party scene of Malia, three teenage girls – Tara, Skye and Em – go on a rites-of-passage holiday; drinking, clubbing and hooking up in what should be the best summer of their lives. As they dance their way through the hazy clubs, hectic pool parties and sun-drenched streets of the strip, they find themselves navigating the complexities of sex, consent, self-discovery and friendships old and new. 

Winner of the Un Certain Regard prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, How to Have Sex is a vibrant and painfully authentic depiction of the agonies, ecstasies and ride-or-die glory of young female friendship. Molly Manning Walker announced themselves as a rising star of the British and world cinema scenes with this accomplished debut.
