2012 • 82 minutos

Acerca de esta película

Syd, an eccentric bookseller with delusions of grandeur fueled by red wine, caused a rift five years ago between the freewheeling bohemian residents of his house and the family next door. Over the course of a balmy summer, he now tries to draft the boy next door to make videos for his online book business. Introverted young Curtis is reluctant at first, but soon gets drawn in by Syd's creative fervor. Their unlikely bond dissolves bad blood between their households, replacing old grudges and repressed secrets with new camaraderie and fresh possibility. The transformative power of forgiveness, ping pong and afternoon cocktails sparks Curtis's first seminal summer, and a season of change for all.

This is a great and rare film that will only be understood by a certain type of "sober or not" stoner for life. It gives instruction on how to remain in the buzz while maintaining sanity, perspective and humanity. It's an anti-cult movie that will leave viewers wanting to sign up. It actually contains several movies within the movie all of which appear to be real. In that sense it is also a kind of documentary.

This movie is almost completely unknown. It really helped me understand relationships in a new way and helped me understand that people don’t have to have a lot in common to be friends or at least friendly neighbors. It’s a coming of age story of sorts, even for some of those who have already come of age. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone.
