Plot

Daniela is a 17-year-old girl who resides in Santiago, Chile. Despite her family's devout Protestant beliefs, she eagerly explores her sexuality through both casual sex and a blog titled "Young and Wild". The blog serves as a platform where she questions her church's teachings and documents her sexual adventures, including her first experiences with masturbation, oral sex, and anal sex. As her blog gains popularity, it attracts comments from people ranging from supportive to gossipy, and even some who outright proposition her for sex.
