A young supermodel reflects on a series of events that, as a teenager,
brought power...then tragedy.
Selene and Sophie are typical high-school girls. One day, when Selene's
period is used to make her the target of schoolwide humiliation, she
realizes it's time for a revolution. Inspired by the Celtic face-painted
warriors of her ancestry, Selene sets out with her friends to challenge
the patriarchy. But when the ferocity of the real world comes crashing
in, the girls' identities are shattered, and they are le to pick up the
pieces all on their own.
Painted deals unapologetically with bullying, violence, language, drug
use, death, the bonds of sisterhood, and--above all--the power of
friendship.
