Melissa P.
Based on the sensational international best-seller, 'One Hundred Strokes of the Brush Before Bed', 'Melissa P.' is a steamy tale of raw emotions and frank sexuality. Lonely, neglected by her parents, and feeling the loss of her beloved grandmother (Geraldine Chaplin), fourteen-year-old Melissa (Maria Valverde) turns to sex as an outlet of expression. Propelling herself into impossibly risky sexual liaisons, the details of which she records in her diary, this modern-day Lolita suddenly and dangerously turns into a bold seductress. By turns erotic and harrowing, 'Melissa P.'s disturbing look into a teenage girls secret life pushes the envelope of human desires.
