“A love story.”
In the fall of 1963, Eddie Birdlace is an 18-year-old Marine Corps volunteer who is about to ship out with three of his buddies for a tour of duty in Vietnam. Planning a massive blowout for their last night in San Francisco, Eddie, his buddies, and a number of other Marines set up a contest they call a "dogfight."
A bittersweet, tender look at young men facing the precipice of war. It captures the fragile hope and quiet desperation of a generation on the cusp of profound change, underscored by a gentle, melancholic score.
