A deceptively simple tale of a group of children in a squalid
North Carolina town who band together to cover up a tragic mistake.
Green's poignant debut feature is an extraordinarily assured work
with an aesthetic reminiscent of Days of Thunder yet totally original
in its ability to make the ordinary look beautiful.
