ComedyDrama
The lives of a motherless young man, who's just starting to find interest in women, and his physically abused, poverty stricken friend, are mixed with more or less innocent childhood experiences and challenges most their age experience.
VIBE
A tender, observational look at childhood's quiet moments and harsh realities. It captures the bittersweet ache of growing up, the awkwardness of first crushes, and the complex bonds within a small community. Feels like a warm, hazy memory.
