On one evening in a decade of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, the innocence of youth and family unravels. Five parallel coming-of-age stories dramatize the stages of grief. A youthful mother in a custody battle over her children, finds tranquility with the bottle. The abuse of her ex-husband still haunts the children; a nineteen year old drug addict, and his younger brother, a bullied closet homosexual.There's the story of the dog; a teen who offers sexual favors to gain acceptance, the challenged classmate who would do anything for her love, and the redhead beauty, haunted by a secret, tragic past. These lives and others will change forever on this final evening before their hangout, The Toy Soldiers Roller Rink, closes its doors for the final time.

This is an indie film, but looks really good. The casting was great, I found the characters interesting and well acted. The stories were pretty intense, especially the gay coming out thread. and some were the typical 80's teen angst. The film runs long but doesn't drag, you get your money's worth. Watch the trailer, and if it interests you then you will love the film. I did.
