“A lyrical tale of two solitary, playful and young souls.”

DramaRomance

Jess, age 18, and Moss, age 12 are second cousins in the dark-fire tobacco fields of rural Western Kentucky. Without immediate families that they can relate to, and lacking friends their own age, they only have each other. Over the course of a summer they venture on a journey exploring deep secrets and hopes of a future while being confronted with fears of isolation, abandonment and an unknown tomorrow.

VIBE

A hazy, sun-drenched summer unfolds with a quiet intensity. This film feels like a faded photograph, capturing the raw, unspoken emotions of youth and the bittersweet ache of growing up in isolation. It's a deeply personal, atmospheric experience.
