Suburban high-school students are forced to face their own insecurities after one of their classmates commits suicide.

To be 15 years old in America, in school... and in love. Two teenage girls follow their hearts to very different places in this heartwarming coming-of-age comedy. Natalie Becker (Jennifer Connelly) travels to Washington to meet the president, and Polly Franklin (Maddie Corman) journeys to New York following a baseball player. But for both, life will never be the same after Seven Minutes in Heaven.

Edgy and raw with emotion, Gregg Araki’s fragmented portrait of queer teens in 1990s California captures their ennui with the lo-fi fuzz of color video. Numbing pangs of existential angst and loneliness with alternative music, hot sex, and sharp wit, these disenchanted kids rebel with good cause.
