Synopsis
In the tradition of free-wheeling tributes to adolescence like Dazed & Confused, THE MYTH OF THE AMERICAN SLEEPOVER follows four young people (a cast of brilliant young newcomers in their feature film debuts) on the last night of summer - their final night of freedom before the new school year starts. The teenagers cross paths as they explore the suburban wonderland they inhabit in search of love and adventure - chasing first kisses, elusive crushes, popularity and parties - and discover the quiet moments that will resonate as the best of their youth. Writer/director David Robert Mitchell crafts a tender coming-of-age drama that’s at times both heartwarming and truthful.
