A broke illustrator meets her manic pixie dream teen—and actually learns something.
Camila, a young aspiring and struggling illustrator, meets Madison, a teenage girl, when Camila is hired by Madison’s (very) wealthy family as her tutor. Unlike Camila, Madison is confident, popular, and has never experienced rejection. Though Camila initially dismisses the teenager as vapid and out-of-touch, they connect over their struggles as artists. Camila becomes seduced by Madison’s can-do attitude and naïve drive. The short interaction ultimately sparks a new fire inside Camila.
