Between carefree youth and the harsh reality of the adult world, a teenage girl experiences a disturbing awakening in this unforgettable vision of losing her innocence. According to Joyce Carol Oates' famous short story 'Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?' The innocent flirtation is shattered by the encounter of a mysterious stranger (an unforgettable and threatening Treat Williams). 'Smooth Talk' won the Sundance Grand Jury Award, capturing the excitement and horror of adolescent sexual exploration, transforming the tradition of adult stories into something more unsettling and profound.
