A poetic and heart-wrenching tale of female friendship: Real World explores the mythology of girlhood, particularly when it undergoes a metamorphosis brought on as a result of destructive adolescence and lurid obsession. Dreamy and doomed teenager, Clover Ray, searches for purpose. Daughter of town's deadliest drug dealer, all Clover is familiar with is familial tension and self-destruction. Upon the backdrop of dingy, deprived Blackpool, Clover encounters an old friend of her father's - but this one, he's not like the others. He's kind. He's attentive. Most importantly, Clover is obsessed with him.
Joint at the hip to her best friend, Piper, the two girls respectively find themselves entrapped in a whirlwind of mismatched love and teenage lust. But it is worth sacraficing your sanity if it means to be loved?
