Freedom is the greatest adventure

DramaAdventure

Brothers Danny and Zak, ages 15 and 13 ¾, are spending the summer in their deceased grandfather's house, waiting in vain for their mother, who is otherwise busy, and running low on cash. To make some money, they decide to rent out the house to a local drug dealer, but things don't go exactly as planned...

VIBE

A hazy, sun-drenched summer unfolds with the quiet ache of adolescent yearning. It captures the bittersweet drift of youth, the awkwardness of burgeoning independence, and the fragile bonds of friendship against a backdrop of neglect.
