Rhona, a shy teenager stuck on her family’s farm, has a secret: she’s head-over-heels infatuated with celebrity crush Céline. Between endless chores, an overbearing father who can’t stay out of her room, and the chaotic interruptions of barnyard animals, Rhona can barely find a moment of privacy to explore her budding desires. Unfortunately for Rhona, the farm’s chaos - goats, chickens, and her dad’s ill-timed interruptions - makes finding privacy nearly impossible. As her desire to explore her newfound feelings grows, so does her frustration with the farm’s constant meddling. In a series of hilariously awkward and tender moments, Rhona struggles to carve out a space for herself while her father fumbles with how to help her grow up. Life on the farm may be unpredictable, but Rhona is determined to make her moment happen - no matter how many chickens end up in her bed.
