Coming of Age

Bonni Belle and Vincent Casals are teenage sweethearts who decide to explore their sexual desires as young adults on their last afternoon together, before Bonni is whisked off back to Oslo by her parents. This adult short film is intimate, tender and beautifully accentuated by cool pastels and winter light, which highlight the stark but open experience of sleeping with someone for the first time. Bonni and Vincent are new performers, both 22 years old at the time of shooting and exude the youth and timidity which suit this confession perfectly. Their chemistry is electric, yet loving.
