Here is a smart and sassy British film written and directed by David Leland. Haunted by the death of her mother, alienated from her strict father, and bored by her traditional seaside community in the 1950s, fifteen-year-old Lynda dives into the world of dating and sex. She's determined to create as many waves as possible. She succeeds and eventually finds herself pregnant.

Emily Lloyd is smashingly good as the spunky, erotic, and out-spoken teenager who yearns for a fast and furious life. Filled with humorous incidents illustrating the awkwardness and emotional neediness of adolescence, Wish You Were Here entertains and stands head and shoulders over most other more traditional coming-of-age dramas.
