Hippie Chick

In Hippie Chick, a rebellious teenager finds her mother dead in
the bathroom. To save her from living alone with a difficult father, her
older sister sends her a one-way plane ticket to leave New Jersey.
Landing in San Francisco, she is thrust into a lifestyle way beyond what
she is ready for, and that challenges all previous notions of how one
behaves. It is 1963, and we are brought along as Ilene becomes immersed
in the unfolding of the sixties during the earliest days of sexual
freedom, psychedelic drugs, the jazz scene, and rock ’n’ roll. This is a
deeply personal story of how one young woman manages to survive and
even to thrive in the face of the whirlwind of experiences coming at
her. It is filled with a rich tapestry of moments that run the gamut
from the sublime to the ridiculous, and everything in between.
