It's the summer of 1982. Following their parents' bitter divorce, 13-year old Mickey and his older brother Wade
stay in the country with their farm-hand father, Acre. This season of unexpected self-discovery for Mickey coincides with some mysterious and violent changes to the world at large. |
feedbackArtist Vanessa Puopolo: “'Boys' is an absolute wonder. It is simultaneously horrifying and heartbreaking. Positively riveting."
*** Filmmaker Monte Light: "The scene between Acre and Mickey, after Acre's head is injured and Mickey is caught sipping a beer,is goddamn poetry. It's beautiful, poignant, the kind of stuff you win awards for." Vertical Divider
