Sexual Dependency

A startling debut from 24-year-old director Rodrigo Bellott, Sexual Dependency offers a provocative take on issues of virginity, homophobia, and racism. Played out almost entirely in split-screen form, Sexual Dependency focuses on five camera-ready teenagers in Bolivia and the U.S. Ranging from spoiled rich kids and naÔve peasants to drunken American frat boys and a black female college student, the teens are united only in their desire to experience physical intimacy.
