American Pie

During the transition from adolescence to adulthood, sex often becomes an obsession, a goal, or even a symbol of personal success among young people. That’s the starting point of this story, in which a group of friends faces the challenge of losing their virginity before graduating high school—navigating it all with anxiety, humor, and plenty of awkwardness. At the center of this quest is Jim, a naïve and slightly scatterbrained teenager who, like many of his classmates, feels the pressure of what seems like a competition to prove their maturity.

But Jim’s problems go beyond school. At home, things aren’t much easier. Although his family means well, they constantly push him outside his comfort zone. Things take an especially uncomfortable turn when his parents catch him watching porn. The incident leads to a series of cringe-worthy conversations with his father, who, in an attempt to help, takes it upon himself to handle Jim’s “sex education”—with results that are as ridiculous as they are funny.
