What's it about?
On the verge of adolescence, Joe 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.
Why do we love it?
This modern telling of a coming of age story has a hilarious script with brilliant performances all round. The film aesthetically looks gorgeous and captures not only the warmth of summer but the escapism that we all crave.
