Juana is 17 years old and wants to experience her “first time”. And her wheelchair certainly isn’t going to stop her. She’s just started at a new high school in Argentina and is a teenager like any other, except for the fact that she observes the world from a height of 4 feet (one metre twenty). She soon joins the fight for sex education and becomes a spokesperson for the movement. Inspired by the experience of co-author and co-director Rosario Perazolo Masjoan, the series explores body diversity, consensual sexuality and the pride that comes with finding one’s place in the world.
"THANK YOU, Zach Creggar!" Back in 2022, this now established star in the horror film genre gave us the quirkily creepy, unexpectedly funny (at times!) cinematic gem that was "Barbarian".

Netflix’s new comedy drama, Don’t Say Good Luck, is a heartwarming tearjerker as well as a love letter to the transformative power of being a theater kid. Directed by Julia Hart, Don’t Say Good Luck follows Sophie (Sunny Sandler), a theater kid who finally gets the lead role in her school’s production of Waitress - just as she finds out her mom Elizabeth (Melanie Lynskey) is dying of cancer. While the singing is by no means spectacular and Sandler’s acting is stiff, the film is grounded in the moving performance of Lynskey as a mother who wants nothing more than for her daughter to achieve her dreams, even if she can’t be there to see them.
