Babyteeth

This fact becomes her parents’ worst nightmare. He is not the boyfriend they wanted for their daughter. But Milla’s first brush with love brings her a new lust for life. Things get messy and traditional morals go out the window. Milla shows her parents, Moses and everyone in her orbit how to live like you have nothing to lose. How good it is not to be dead. A humorous portrait of a teenage girl who learns to push boundaries in an extreme way. Based on the play by Rita Kalnejais, the film was in competition at this year’s Venice festival.

Eliza Scalen, a 20-year-old Australian known from the series “Sharp Objects”, who we could recently watch in “Little Women” by Greta Gerwig, proves that she is growing into one of the most interesting actresses of the young generation. Her film partner, Toby Wallace, received the Marcello Mastroianni Prize for Best Acting Debut in Venice.
