SYNOPSIS
Set in the rolling hills of the English countryside, Philophobia is a picture of small town adolescence. One week of high school remains for Kai, an aspiring writer, and his friends. How they choose to spend this time will wake sexual desires, cost one of them their life and leave each of them changed forever.
