He was the most popular guy in town: a bully and the life of the party. He was the “elder” in their small town and had serious criminal connections. He changed girls like gloves, and didn’t think about anything seriously. And then he met her. A high school student, an excellent student and the beloved daughter of the city police chief. It would seem they could never be together - her parents locked her at home when they accidentally saw her in the same car with him. But love still happened, no matter what. And then he tried heroin. The first year she fought, the second year she prayed, and then she simply disappeared. She moved far away, cutting off all ties. Ten years later, they suddenly got in touch again.

How sad is this?
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
