ELECTRICK CHILDREN (2012)

Cast

Plot

Teenage Mormon virgin Rachel awakens one day to find herself inexplicably pregnant after secretly listening to a forbidden tape of The Nerves' classic hit 'Hanging on the Telephone'. Facing shame in her community and a forced marriage, Rachel flees the strict compound where she lives and, accompanied by her stern brother Mr Will hits the road in search of the singer on the tape; the man she is convinced has made her pregnant through music. Lost in Las Vegas, the naive pair fall in with a bunch of slacker skater punk-rockers led by lost boy Clyde and together are thrown into a very different new world full of music, romance and possibility. A cool, quirky slice of ‘proper’ American indie cinema.
