Josephine Decker crafts a challenging but juicy debut role for astonishing newcomer Helena Howard.

Madeline has become an integral part of a prestigious physical theater troupe. When the workshop’s ambitious director (Molly Parker) pushes the teenager to weave her rich interior world and troubled history with her mother (Miranda July) into their collective art, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur.

As Madeline takes her tentative first steps into the adult world, Decker’s incessantly inquisitive, intensely subjective style of filmmaking captures both the dizzying joy and abject terror of adolescence.

Belfast Film Festival films will not feature ads or trailers and will, therefore, start at the advertised time.
