Maya is a lesbian neet artist who's sexually inexperienced and obsessing over an instagram influencer (jasmine) who she goes to a party to meet. Jasmine saves her from a creepy guy and maya falls even more in love. Jasmine has a sugar daddy who she has an ABDL relationship with, who turns out to be maya's long lost dad. Things get weird because feelings aren't mutual, and, because jasmine has sexual relationships with 2 related people.
I like watching movies about queer sexuality and the camera work and editing for this was beautiful but styling and character development felt simplistic and flat. Maya clearly wears things inspired by pastel jfashion, fairy kei, etc, but her outfits look like they were bought in a 20 minute mall trip. All the characters felt like they could've had more complexity and depth, as it stands, they all felt one dimensional. Maya and jasmine's relationship is questionable the entire time- common in queer relationships especially with inexperienced partners- but i wish the negative and mismatched-emotions of their relationship had more story, background, intensity, and grit.
This is the director's first film so i'm hoping future movies from her feel more fully developed and with more than superficial style.
