The film tells a story of a divorced couple trying to raise their young son. The story follows the boy for twelve years, from first grade at age 6 through 12th grade at age 17-18, and examines his relationship with his parents as he grows.

My review · Reviewed 11/28/2014

This is easily one of the best films that I have ever seen. Seeing the boy and the story grow over the years was dramatic and had a profound effect on me as I could relate to so much of what he went through. It is such a magical film.
