Full Plot Details

First Nations teenager Larry Sole, who lives with his mother Verna Sole and her boyfriend Jed, an outdoor guide often away for work, in Fort Simmer, Northwest Territories, moved there three years ago following what Larry classifies as the "accident". As Larry doesn't partake in what most of his peers in the town do, he is literally and figuratively an outsider, not having any friends. The one person he does know from before their time in Fort Simmer, Darcy McManus, bullies him, with Larry refusing to fight back. They were once friends, but one specific incident in their past led to why Darcy now taunts him. Darcy is also the one person among their peers that knows the reason for Larry and Verna having moved to Fort Simmer, that being the accident. One thing that keeps Larry preoccupied is his infatuation with classmate, Juliet Hope. Things have the potential to change for Larry when he is befriended by a new classmate, Johnny Beck, a tough guy who may be able to guide Larry in some key areas, especially in dealing with others. One potential area of conflict between the two is Juliet's attraction to Johnny. Their friendship may also open Larry up to greater scrutiny, his past which he may want kept below the surface. As Larry tries to navigate all these issues, he also tries to reconcile his current life with his First Nations background, Jed who often tries to provide that First Nations touchstone.

Movie Reviews

Toronto Star - 8/10 by Bruce DeMara[Doron] has assembled a uniformly solid cast, starting with an impressive debut by Evans, whose brown eyes are both soulful and watchful. It's a performance that commands our attention and empathy.
San Diego Union-Tribune - 5/10 by Anders WrightThe emotions present in Anita Doron's film still feel fresh and universal, even if some of the dialogue is clunky.
Canada.com - 5/10 by Katherine MonkIt's an undeniably noble effort from all involved, but the dreary denouement makes viewer feel lesser than blessed.
User Review - 10/10 by Bill WReserve realism. Captures the feel of the book. The ending was perfect matched the book.
User Review - 8/10 by Ash MWatch this movie, only if for the tremendous cinematography highlighting Northern Canada. It's beautifully filmed, and up there with the best of art-house productions.
User Review - 8/10 by Richard VGood story, well told. Good character development, well acted.
User Review - 6/10 by Brad SThe cinematography is definitely the star here, along with the location and production design. The characters don't quite feel alive. And the writing doesn't provide much of anything compelling for them to do or say. But the details of the journey still kept my interest most of the way through. Overall, a valiant indie effort that I admire in terms of its unique setting and striving to tell an honest story in a realistic style.
User Review - 6/10 by Kelly KThis film has been on my list of films to see for over a year. I'm so glad I finally took the time to see it. It is so very thoughtful and deep. The character Larry is a wounded soul, but also a tender, kindred spirit. When the characters speak they say so very little, but convey so many emotions. It is beautiful and heartbreaking. Definitely worth seeing.
User Review - 4/10 by Cylus OThere is no gem to be found here- an insipid film.
User Review - 4/10 by Joshua LWell made but not really for me. I don't really dig coming of age films.
