About
Lilly convinces her best friend René to join her on a nocturnal trespassing adventure. The two young women break into a zoo and discover an idiosyncratic animal kingdom, where the boundaries between fear and desire begin to disappear. Heads or Tails is a wondrous coming-of-age story that vividly conjurs the heightened feeling of experiencing something for the first time.
