What Grown-Ups Know (2004)
Imdb user:
Roy’s mom and dad have split and Roy and his mom are on the road. They are struggling to make ends meet, skipping out on motel bills and earning money in a series of dead end jobs. As if life on the road isn’t hard enough Roy is struggling with his growing awareness that he’s gay.
His two problems mix when he encounters a man in a public toilet and then recognizes him again as the owner of the caravan park where Roy and his mother have settled in. Roy is inexperienced and deeply confused but he thinks he’s got an idea of how he and his mom can make the rent…
This coming of age short was well conceived and started off well but became a bit depressing and muddled toward the end. I’m unclear whether the story was the problem or whether it was the way that the story was presented but I am certainly interested in seeing the director’s other efforts.
