action
The lives of a group of twelve-year-olds turn upside down when one of them dies in an argument with other teenagers. Rudy's death changes the lives of his three best friends, the overweight Lenny, the precocious Malee, and his twin brother Jacob.
criticism
"After his controversial" LIE ", Michael Cuesta ventures into emotionally complex terrain again ... Similar to the comparable" Mean Creek "and" Mysterious Skin ", it is about dealing with grief, the awakening of sexuality and the burden of the past what the director cleverly plays out in poetic scenes without ever having a didactic effect.
