A Childhood
Drama
As summer drags by, 13-year-old Jimmy, forced by circumstance to become an adult too soon, runs up against the limits of his small hometown and his turbulent life, caught between a mother on the slide and a stepfather who keeps her down.
VIBE
This film feels like a heavy, humid summer day where every moment stretches into an eternity. It's a raw, unflinching look at the suffocating grip of circumstance and the quiet desperation of youth trying to escape it.
