Sleep Tight, Maria
Short Film / 15 min / 2015 / Indonesia
A quirky yet insecure 17-year old girl named MARIA V, who’s raised in a catholic family and school, always masturbates before she goes to sleep. One day, her school arranges a church camp, in which requires all of its students to pray and spend the night together in a secluded place. A few days before the camp, Maria V finds out that she has to share her room with a fellow student, MARIA P - the smartest, most beautiful and religious girl in her school. To save her pride, Maria V struggles to fall asleep that night without having to masturbate.
