Overview

It’s hard to dislike Mila; at 30, she carries her insecurities close, overanalyses everything, and is much kinder to others than to herself. When her friend cancels their trip at the last minute, Mila swallows her fear and sets off alone for a pole dance camp. Among sculpted dancers, scant costumes, and sky-high platforms, she feels awkward, alien, and instantly out of place.
