After trying to seduce her mother's live-in boyfriend, guilt-ridden teen Heidi runs away from home and heads for a small ski resort, where her sexual awakening and amorphous yearning for love collide. Rudderless and broke, Heidi exchanges her sexual favors for a place to sleep till she lands a job. But just as she starts to settle in, her irresponsible behavior jeopardizes her fragile equilibrium.

I haven't seen Worthington in anything yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing him in Avatar.

I just streamed Somersault on Netflix not too long ago and loved it. Cornish is really brilliant in this film.
