Premise

Carmela gets pregnant at age 16 therefore she never got a proper coming of age experience. As an adult, Carmela deals with the end of her marriage with her husband Bart. She meets her goddaughter and her friends who are going to a beach party and coerces her goddaughter to let her join the event threatening to snitch her to her mother if she does not comply. At the beach, Carmela parties and "rediscovers" her youth in the process. She goes on to have a one night stand with Morph, a young hunk, who later confesses his own feelings for her.[3][4]
