What happens

Shithouse (bowdlerized in marketing material as S#!%house and released in some territories as Freshman Year) is a 2020 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film written, directed, and produced by Cooper Raiff, in his directorial debut. It stars Raiff, Dylan Gelula, Logan Miller, and Amy Landecker. The film was set to have its world premiere at South by Southwest in March 2020, but the festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The South by Southwest film competition nevertheless went ahead, and Shithouse won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Narrative Feature. It was released in the United States on October 16, 2020, by IFC Films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
