LEMONADE BLESSING

JOIN US ON THE ROAD SHOW!

Good Catholic boy meets rebellious atheist girl, and nothing about John Santucci's life is ever the same. Freshly enrolled in a strict private Catholic high school by his devout, recently divorced mother, John (Jake Ryan) falls hard for Lilith (Skye Alyssa Friedman), a classmate who's determined to push his faith, and his morals, right to the edge. What starts as teenage infatuation spirals into a string of increasingly uncomfortable acts of rebellion, all committed in the name of love, as John gets caught between his mother's insistence on total purity and his father's own murky ideas about how a man should behave.

Marking the feature directorial debut of Chris Merola, Lemonade Blessing is a sharp, sacrilegious coming-of-age comedy-drama that captures adolescence at its most awkward and unfiltered. Discovered through its acclaimed Tribeca Festival premiere and a buzzy word-of-mouth run, this uncomfortably funny, deeply human film has been called a defining Catholic-school coming-of-age story for a new generation. Now it's finally hitting the big screen in a special limited roadshow engagement before expanding nationwide.
