Struck with a serious case of teenage angst, AJ is an out, socially awkward, environmentally conscious teenager who has been dragged along on a beach vacation with her painfully normal family. A bright spot in compulsory family time appears in the form of Isla, the friendly, sun-loving lifeguard who might not be as straight as AJ thinks she is. AJ’s ups and downs threaten to derail her first summertime fling as she fights with her mother, her sister, and everyone around her. SWEETHEART is a feel-good coming-of-age dramedy about how to be your true queer self and maybe kiss a girl for the first time.
