Little Darlings
Director: Ron Maxwell
Actors: Tatum O'Neal, Kristy McNichol, Armand Assante
PlotIn a summer camp for girls, two fifteen-year-old campers from very different backgrounds, Ferris and Angel, become rivals in a race to see who can lose their virginity first. Ferris is wealthy and somewhat snobbish, having attended the camp for years, while Angel comes from a poorer, tougher neighborhood and is new to the camp experience. Their personal challenge quickly becomes the talk of the fellow campers, who place bets on who will succeed first. As both girls set their sights on boys from a nearby boys' camp, their contest escalates, leading them to take greater risks in pursuit of their goal.
As the summer progresses, the competition between Ferris and Angel intensifies, and their quest starts to teach them about the complexities of relationships and the realities of growing up. Along the way, they bond with their fellow campers and navigate the awkwardness and pressures of adolescence. While they both strive to win the bet, they also confront their own preconceptions about love, sex, and friendship, learning valuable life lessons that challenge their initial motivations. The camp setting, full of typical summer activities and teenage interactions, serves as a backdrop for this coming-of-age tale.
