The scene they enter has the energy of a reality television show mixed with the youthfulness of Skins and the glow of Euphoria.

Suddenly they are in the middle of a nonstop beach party, surrounded by dozens (if not hundreds) of other groups of young people. The girls mosey over from the beach to their resort, ending a private moment and inaugurating a public one. You want these friends to always love this shamelessly, to protect each other, to never change.īut you know things are bound to change - that’s the trick of life. The natural chemistry between the performers adds to the spell cast by Manning Walker and Canniccioni. The sun ascends, its rays bathing the trio in the golden light of daybreak. Cinematographer Nicolas Canniccioni’s camera zooms in on the scene of Tara, Skye and Em teasing each other and splashing in the sea. How to Have Sex opens on the beach, with a close and protective gaze.
