| Rivas and Rodriguez |
Chilean director Marialy Rivas' coming of age film Young and Wild (2012) examines the friction inherent in evangelical religion (18% of Chile is evangelical Christian) and teenage sexuality, odd bed fellows in the least. Young & Wild is the name of the blog by narrator Daniela (Alicia Rodriguez), an 18-year old riddled with boundaries in post-Pinochet Chile. Her blog is her salvation as she parses through an emotional morass of teen sexuality. The film is based on the true sexual escapades of Chilean blogger, Camila Gutierrez.
Working at a religious TV station, she finds herself at the center of a love triangle involving a boyfriend, Tomás (played by Felipe Pinto), and her free-spirited female coworker, Antonia (María Gracia Omegna).
