This Blows

As Addie’s babysitter Erika had become accustomed to answering the full range of questions out of left field: 
“Why not just print more money?” Inflation. 
“Why was Eve punished if Adam ate the forbidden fruit?” Misogyny.
“What’s a blow job?”… 
An answer Erika was not willing to give for just $20 an hour.  This simple question spirals into a frantic, humorous scramble for Erika to come up with a creative, yet chaotic, solution—all set against the backdrop of a small town suburb, an arcade birthday party and Erika’s new hobby of the month Rollerblading. The film explores the awkward, yet hilarious, moments of growing up, where innocence clashes with the adult world. Ultimately, _This Blows _is a reflection on the delicate balance of preserving innocence while accepting the inevitable transition into adulthood.
