seems
everywhere.

Helena's
daughter,
Amalia,
about
14,
discusses
vocations
in
a
Catholic

group.
Her
teen
imagination
conflate
the
erotic,
the
religious,
and

the
lurid.
Amalia
notices
Dr.
Jano,
and
he
notices
her.
She
decides
to

make
him
her
vocation,
she
follows
him,
he
rubs
against
her
in
a
public

crowd,
he's
appalled
at
his
actions.
Meanwhile,
Helena
believes
Jano
is

attracted
to
her
even
though
he's
married.
Longing,
guilt,
scandal,
and

teen
sensuality
are
set
to
collide.
