Spacked Out

2000 · 95 min

A raw, quietly devastating drift through teenage confusion and neglect, immersive and unsentimental.

Tagline: A poignant look at modern day youths in a world of confusion.
Overview: In the god-forsaken satellite city of Tuen Mun, 13-year-old Cookie suspects she's pregnant. Lately things have not been going her way. Her mother left; her father ignores her; her best friend is in reform school; and her boyfriend is off selling bootleg VCDs in bustling Mong Kok. Flanked by her ride-or-dies Banana, Sissy, and Bean-Curd, she journeys into town to find an abortionist.

About: Coming-of-age, isolation, family, friendship

Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
