Overview

Joe Toy, on the verge of adolescence, finds himself increasingly frustrated by his single father, Frank’s attempts to manage his life. Declaring his freedom once and for all, he escapes to a clearing in the woods with his best friend, Patrick, and a strange kid named Biaggio. He announces that they are going to build a house there, free from responsibility and parents. Once their makeshift abode is finished, the three young men find themselves masters of their own destiny, alone in the woods.

Viewing Notes

Man, this is beautiful film. Top to bottom. Story, cast, cinematography, score. I just love this so much. It’s like a Wes Anderson film without cutesy framing but retains the quirkiness and heart. Damn fine film and immediate spot in my top films of 2013.
