Synopsis

Two 18-year old girls from a Christian fundamentalist community flee to a city for a summer job. Maria, wants to experience the world before going back home and getting married to a boy from the same community. She wants to try out things that are forbidden at home: making out with boys, watching TV, dancing to rhythm music, drinking alcohol and using make up. Her friend, Raakel, is less adventurous and only wants to make sure Maria does return. The summer of temptations changes the life of one of the girls - for good.
