Chafing due to her parents (especially her mother's) restrictions, she secretly lives a life of casual sex and partying, while writing about her life on her blog, [[TitleDrop Young and Wild]] (Joven y Alocada in Spanish). When her latest tryst is found out by her school, she's expelled. Giving her one last chance to abide by their standard, her mother sends her to work at the Evangelical TV station. There temptation however comes again-she is drawn to a handsome young man, Tomás, and also Antonia, two of her coworkers. Moving between them, Daniela is also still at odds toward her family as well.

* AsTheGoodBookSays: Being set in the Chilean Evangelical community, there are naturally Bible quotes quite frequently. The Evangelical TV station where Daniela works even runs a game show based on completely Bible quotes (she knows them all by heart). She also tries to rationalize having sex in the ways the Evangelics dislike (outside marriage, with a woman etc) through [[QuoteMine selective quoting]] of the Bible as well, though not that often. Daniela also tells Antonia she loves her "70 times 7" and explains that it's a phrase used in the Bible to mean something infinite. She also names her blod entries in faux Bible style, e.g. Gospel 1.1 etc.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Antonia finds it funny when Daniela questions if an Evangelical guy whom they interview really "gave up" his ego, as she thinks he swatched his girfliend for Jesus.
* AffectionateNickname: Daniela's nicknamed "Dani" by her boyfriend, and "Danielita" (little Daniela) by her aunt.
* AgainstMyReligion: Daniela's parents and Evangelicals generally oppose her libertine ways because of their strict religious beliefs that all extramarital sex is wrong.
* AsTheGoodBookSays: Being set in the Chilean Evangelical community, there are naturally Bible quotes quite frequently. The Evangelical TV station where Daniela works even runs a game show based on completely Bible quotes (she knows them all by heart).

* ComingOfAgeQueerRomance: Daniela's relationship with Antonia mirrors her growing up, as she's right on the cust of adulthood.
* CoolAunt: Daniela's aunt Isabel is more freespirited than her mother by far, giving her a ''Magazine/RollingStone'' that had a sexually explicit article that her mother threw out before. She contrasts them as well by her aunt cursing, staying single dating many men and not complaining over anything, even getting cancer. Daniela is far closer with Isabel and dreads losing her.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Daniela masturbates in her very first scene, and talks about doing it at length on her blog too. She later masturbates thinking about a handsome boxer she'd watched as well.

At her very end, her last words are saying she just feels lost now.]]
* EasyEvangelism:
** Daniela's parents apparently converted from Catholicism to Evangelicalism after getting just one talk with her Evangelical pastor uncle (who also destroyed the icon of Virgin Mary which they had in the back yard, because in his view it's an idol the Bible prohibits). She still resents this, as it's meant she's lived a very restrictive life ever since.
** One of the conversion stories she watches too in the Evangelical TV station is from a woman who'd converted just due to someone saying God loved her, seemingly. This is perhaps more [[JustifiedTrope justified]] as she lived an empty hedonistic life before that she'd been very unhappy with.
* EgocentricallyReligious:
** Daniela criticizes the Evangelicals for being very egocentric in their faith, especially the rich ones like her family. It's hard to argue when one event they have is even "We Are The Light Of The World", as that also sounds possibly blasphemous (Jesus is called "The light of the world" in the Bible).
** Later she also questions one Evangelical while interviewing him about converting if he'd really “given up his ego” as he claims to have by giving away his property and breaking off with his girlfriend, when he did what he'd wanted by following Christ instead. He isn't pleased by this, cutting off the interview and complaining to the station manages, who lectures Daniela over it.
** Another example is when her family and Tomás pray for protection while the restaurant they're eating at gets robbed (it seems to work) but not for anybody else there.
* TheHedonist: Daniela, though raised Evangelical, secretly lives a life of casual sex and partying, while writing on her blog about it all.
* HollywoodAtheist: At one of the Evangelical meetings, a pastor denounces atheists and agnostics as living selfish lives with only relative values to let them do as they wish.
* HormoneAddledTeenager: Daniela to a tee. She's driven by her sex drive through the story, and all her problems stem from this since her community opposes extramarital sex of any kind. It also causes her to see two people at once, [[spoiler:which results in both leaving her when they find out]].
* IHaveNoSon: Daniela's older sister was disowned for having had extramarital sex with her boyfriend then marrying him against her mother's wishes. She won't let Daniela see her, though their aunt still arranged a secret reunion. [[spoiler:When her mother catches on that she's been having sex with Tomás, it's later implied that she'd been disowned for this, since she just stays off to the side with her sister at their aunt's funeral, her mother giving them dirty looks.]]
* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: Daniela and her boyfriend have sex on a rug once.
* MrFanservice: Tomás, a very handsome young man, is shown shirtless and his backside bare while having sex with Daniela.
* MsFanservice: Daniela and Antonia are both good-looking young woman who have multiple sex scenes together (in Daniela's case with other people too).
* {{Nepotism}}: After she's expelled from her school before she can take the entrance exam for college, Daniela instead gets a job at the Evangelical TV station apparently through her parents' connections in the community.
* NextThingTheyKnew: After she denies being a tease after Antonia's accused her of this, Daniela is seen abruptly in bed with her having passionate sex.
* RRatedOpening: The film opens on Daniela in bed with a guy whom she starts masturbating next to.
* SexInASharedRoom: Daniela and Tomás, while in the room with her sleeping aunt, have sex on the nearby couch together (she doesn't wake up).
* SexMontage: Daniela is shown having sex with Antonia and Tomás while reflecting on her [[BisexualLoveTriangle being with them both]].
* SlutShaming: Daniela is quietly told off for having sex with a boy before being married by her teacher, then is kicked out of the Evangelical school. She later says they treat it as worse than murder or other crimes, and their real First Commandment is "thou shalt not fornicate", complaining of this.
* TheTease: Antonia says Daniela is an "Evangelitease" for flirting with her and then running off. The two have sex after this.
* TitleDrop: "Young And Wild" is the title of the blog Daniela runs.
* ThreewaySex: Daniela fantasizes about having a threesome with her boyfriend Tomás and Antonia, a woman she also likes.
