Movie Haiku:Beautifully-crafted Indie about a teenage girl looking for her place in the world. Lila (Piersanti) is 14. She becomes friends with Chiara (Salimeni) in a dance class. Chiara is 16, more mature, & already sexually active. Palling around with Chiara in the heat of summer leads Lila to the edge of dangerous self-exploration. Poignant. Painful. Excellent. Not yet seen by Rich.
