Black Sheep (2024)

Synopsis

Forced to wear dresses and behave in a certain way against her will at her stepfather’s dinners, 13-year-old Ling meets Kitty, a rebellious 17-year-old, and is fascinated by the older girl who seems unfettered by any rule. As the two girls become close, Ling experiences a sexual awakening and wants to play the role of Kitty’s keeper. But things get complicated when Kitty’s former boyfriend appears on the scene. Full of angst, this coming-of-age story traverses the painful rites of passage of adolescent loneliness and sexual longing. The black sheep hark back to all the pure yet misunderstood selves we used to be.
