Daniela is an angst-ridden 17-year-old who finds that her raging sexual drive is difficult to reconcile with the orders of her religion and the expectations of her well-to-do, evangelical family. With no outlet for her desire, Daniela taps into an online network of other restless teenagers through her sexually charged blog. In addition to being a playful, energetic and, at times, uncomfortably explicit coming-of-age story, Joven y Alocada is fresh and innovative in its format.
Daniela es una joven de 17 años criada en el seno de una estricta familia evangelista. Rebelde por naturaleza, intentará seguir el “camino recto” después de que sus conmocionados padres descubran que es una “fornicadora”. En su camino hacia la salvación, se encontrará con un devastador obstáculo a la hora de encontrar la deseada armonía espiritual: sus impulsos sexuales no se pueden conciliar con lo que su religión le exige.
