Comedy

Having a self-absorbed New Age mother and an estranged father has meant 15-year-old Ellis Whitman has grown up relying on an unconventional guardian: a goat-trekking, marijuana-growing sage called 'Goat Man'. When Ellis decides to leave the alternative ways of his desert homestead for a stuffy East Coast prep school, major changes are in store.

VIBE

A tender, offbeat coming-of-age story about a sheltered teen navigating a new world. It's awkward, funny, and a little sad, with a unique, homespun charm that feels both nostalgic and deeply personal.
