My Old Ass (MA 15+)

In this fresh coming-of-age story, an 18th birthday mushroom trip brings free-spirited Elliott face-to-face with her wisecracking 39-year-old self. But when Elliott's "old ass" starts handing out warnings about what her younger self should and shouldn't do, Elliott realises she has to rethink everything about family, love, and what's becoming a transformative summer.
