A girl and her love for her fan. She searches the city for another way to beat the heat. In the end she returns to her true love.
Love ya lots Lori – the film is bad ass. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go home to be with my fan.
This was my first film to view and rate. I enjoyed it and could see myself in the young lady doing the exact thing in the heat of an summer day. I totally enjoyed it….would have like it to continue a few minutes more.
