Sex Ed

In a bustling inner‑city neighborhood, a restless twenty‑something trades his nightly bagel‑shop shift for a surprising new gig as an after‑school detention teacher. The school’s corridors pulse with the restless energy of middle‑schoolers, and the community hums with a mix of hope and skepticism. Ed Cole steps into this world with a restless ambition to shake up his routine, eager to prove that he can make a difference beyond the grind of his former life.

Soon, Ed discovers that many of his students grapple with questions about relationships and sexuality that never find a voice in the standard curriculum. Inspired, he proposes an informal, candid after‑school program designed to give these young people a safe space for honest conversation. His enthusiasm is buoyed by a tight‑knit circle of friends—JT, his laid‑back roommate, and Ally, JT’s girlfriend—who encourage his unconventional ideas while adding their own brand of comic mischief to the mix.

The town’s more traditional side is embodied by a fervent reverend whose conservative values clash sharply with Ed’s open‑minded approach. Their ideological tug‑of‑war fuels a series of light‑hearted, yet thought‑provoking encounters that underline the film’s romantic‑comedy spirit. Along the way, Ed meets Pilar, a charismatic woman connected to one of his students, whose presence hints at a blossoming romance that could further test his newfound confidence.

Set against a backdrop of vibrant classrooms, local hangouts, and community gatherings, the story balances witty banter with heartfelt moments. It paints a picture of a young teacher navigating personal insecurities, youthful love, and the challenges of advocating for real‑world education—all while the city watches, chuckles, and occasionally protests. The tone stays upbeat, inviting viewers to wonder how far Ed can go when he decides to teach not just lessons, but courage.
