Vada Sultenfuss is obsessed with death. Her mother is dead, and her father runs a funeral parlor. She is also in love with her English teacher, and joins a poetry class over the summer just to impress him. Thomas J., her best friend, is "allergic to everything", and sticks with Vada despite her hangups. When Vada's father hires Shelly, and begins to fall for her, things take a turn to the worse...
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A 1970s coming-of-age story that balances dark humor with genuine heartache, following a death-obsessed girl navigating her father's new romance while clinging to her best friendship. It's tender and often funny, but carries an undercurrent of real sadness that lingers.
