ASQUARED - Mood Film

Amanda Bertini is like most teenagers: she plays sports, has a pet, studies, and her daily routine includes listening to her iPod, texting on her cell phone, and chatting online. An overnight school field trip to an art museum becomes a rite of passage for Amanda with heavy drinking at a hotel room party and the meeting of classmate Alberto. The two quickly develop a relationship, but soon, Alberto’s own online addictions unexpectedly clash with Amanda’s in a shocking instant, when a video of them having sex appears online and her world is turned upside down. Their intimacy is so violated and soiled by the gaze of all, and it triggers a chain reaction that puts a strain on their love.
