Best friends Gem, Lo, and Mira film an Andy Warhol–inspired underground movie. Things get out of hand when Mira, at Lo's prompting and high on mushrooms, gets naked for the camera, then makes out with Gem's crush. Though Australian slang makes the dialogue hard to follow and the plot is issue-laden, Gem's desire to fit in while maintaining her identity is believable.
