Described by writer-director Karen Maine as “a love story between one woman and her vagina,” “Yes, God, Yes,” stars “Stranger Things'” Natalia Dyer as a teenage girl who discovers the joys of masturbation — but also feels guilty and ashamed of her new favorite hobby. A trailer just dropped for the coming-of-age pic, which is set in the early aughts.

Asked to describe her relationship with Jesus, 16-year-old Alice (Dyer) is temporarily at a loss for words. She’s been raised to be a good Catholic girl, but ever since an AOL chat led to self-exploration, she’s become obsessed with masturbation — a habit she’s been taught to see as a sin that she should repent and regret.

Alice is desperate to seek redemption and attends a religious retreat with the hopes of suppressing her urges. Despite being told that “God is always watching,” she continues to find creative ways to get off. “I am sick of being friends with a pervy psycho,” she’s told.

Sex education at the retreat is just as cringe-worthy as you’d imagine. “It’s like this,” the teens are told, “guys only need a few seconds, you know, like a microwave, while ladies, they typically need to pre-heat for a while.”

“I wanted to make a coming-of-age film focused on female self pleasure,” Maine told us. “Many films that explore young women coming of age feature partnered sex, which is often depicted as painful and not very much fun. While that is a legitimate narrative,” she conceded, “young women are also exploring their own bodies for the first time at this age, but because there’s a lingering stigma around female sexuality it’s rarely portrayed on screen, even though the same narrative about young men has been shown in film and TV for a very long time. So I wanted to make a film about the female experience in the hopes that female sexual pleasure will become a bigger part of the conversation,” she explained.

“Yes, God, Yes” made its world premiere at the 2019 edition of SXSW Film Festival. Vertical Entertainment is releasing the film this July.
