Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In this acerbic teen comedy, a funeral becomes a battleground between best friends Carrie Lowstein and Hannah Rosen. When their former Hebrew school classmate commits suicide, the two girls attend her funeral as well as the 'Teen Talk-back' session hosted by their synagogue, designed to be an opportunity for them to understand grief through Judaism. Hannah, more interested in impressing her crush Tristan, convinces Carrie to practice kissing her, unlocking feelings that turn Carrie's world upside down. Emotions heightened, the scene develops into a biting depiction of unrequited crushes, toxic friendships, and wavering faith, which ComingSoon calls 'one of the most original films in the coming-of-age subgenre in a long time.'
