Movie description: "Slut-Shaming". SCENE OPENS on a vestibule in the early hours of the morning, where 18-year-old teen Veronica (Emily Willis) is trying not to make any noise as she sneaks through the door. After a night of partying, evident by her slightly disheveled look and party clothes, the teen is being careful not to startle her stepdad. She holds her heels in her hands to make less noise, and starts tiptoeing into the hallway. She makes her way into the kitchen, where she grabs some headache pills for her already developing hangover. Rounding the corner, she's shocked to see her stepfather Hugo (Steve Holmes), holding a cup of coffee. He has a stern look on his face and a rigid posture. Veronica is embarrassed to have gotten caught but tries to play things cool -- 'hi stepdaddy,' she says sweetly, 'uhh, how long have you been up? ' He says long enough to see that she didn't rest in her bed last night. She tells him that she was studying at a friend's house and stayed over. Skeptical, he picks up the bottle of pills, saying that apparently math gives her a headache. Veronica sticks to her story, but Hugo isn't having it, and slams the pill bottle onto the counter angrily as he demands to know what's going on. Reluctantly, Veronica admits that she was out late at a party. Uncomfortably, clearly not eager to say what she has to say next, she says that she needs a ride to the store. He asks what for. She winces. She confesses she needs to buy some morning-after pills -- she got a bit wild at the party today. Hugo takes a deep breath, trying to keep his cool. Who was the boy? Veronica is very nervous, and admits she doesn't exactly know... Some guy at the party, she didn't get his name.H Ugo looks furious, and starts yelling at her - she lost her virginity at a party to a complete stranger?! That's incredibly irresponsible! Veronica begrudgingly corrects him, 'well.... Not exactly... I sort of... Well, I didn't lose my virginity tonight, that is.' Hugo looks at her stone-faced and incredulous.' How many times have you had sex?! ' he asks. She turns her head and doesn't answer. He grabs her by the wrist and insists she looks him in the eye. 'How many guys have you fucked?! ' he repeats. Humiliated and close to tears, she reluctantly meets her stepfather's glare. 'I've sort of... Lost count.' Something snaps inside Hugo.H E takes a deep long angry breath through his nose, and then exhales.H E grips Veronica's throat and starts walking away, pulling her along with him.S He resists being pulled -- 'what are you going to do to me, stepdaddy?! ' she cries out. Throwing her onto the living room couch, he leans in menacingly. 'I'm going to treat my stepdaughter like the slut she is.' CUT TO TITLE PLATE Standing above her, he looks her up and down for a moment. He tells her that she's been acting like a brat so he's going to treat her like one, and discipline her just like when she would act bratty. He asks patronizingly if she remembers what that means. 'You want to SPANK me?! ' she says in alarm, shrinking from his angry glare. She's 18 years old now, she pleads, he can't do that anymore, she's an adult. It's weird. It's GROSS. Hugo argues back, she certainly isn't acting like an adult. She's acting like a brat who needs to be taught a lesson. If she wants to live under his roof, she has to abide by his rules. She does want to keep living under his roof, right? Reluctantly, she says yes. She doesn't want to be kicked out, right? Begrudgingly, she answers back no. Then she's going to do what he says, right? Through gritted teeth and holding back tears, she says yes, she'll do whatever he says.
