I saw this film at the SF International Film Festival, and was pleasantly impressed with this work. The film's emotions shift from humorous, to sad, to horrifying, and back again. The monotonous daily affairs seem to give these teens a desire to do something more with their life. Yet they end up becoming mixed up a bit, even though they may not notice it. It is interesting to watch the relationship develop between the two boys, and when adversity strikes how they react. The ending is a bit nebulous; one must make of your own mind. Despite the sad aspects confronted in the film, one leaves the theatre with a feeling of contentment and satisfaction. It is a special film that has many singular aspects.
