Sexually Intense

This is a very sexually intense movie. It's about a 12 year old girl who's sexually curious. It's easy to see why with all that's happening around her - her mother and step father are not afraid to show affection in front of her. In the opening scene, the three are seen in bed together. This scene alone instantly gives you a glimpse into what their relationship is like and presents a precursor of what's to come

Later in the film she meets a boy who shares a striking resemblance to her. They become friends. The boy seems to be homeless and she brings him home with her parent's permission. They both have a slim, androgynous body type and her step dad quickly takes a liking to him. Up to this point there have been interactions between the girl and her step dad that seem innocent at first, but when he has similar interactions with her new friend it's clear he enjoys these tickling fights in more than a daddy daughter kind of way.

Throughout the film his perverted intentions become more apparent. The kids react in ways that seem realistic given the circumstance. They like playing out like they're having sex, but knowing that the step dad is not doing these things playfully, they become nervous in front of him.

This is well told story of a girl stuck in a home with a perverted step father and a mother either too weak or too careless to do anything about it.
