1969

In the tumultuous backdrop of the Vietnam War, Ralph and Scott navigate their turbulent teenage years in a small town that feels increasingly suffocating. Their lives are marked by the influence of their parents: Scott, grappling with his father Cliff's unyielding conservatism and military background, while Ralph faces the relentless sexual advances of his mother Ev. Together, they challenge the status quo in a fight against the war, stirring up conversations that shake the town to its core. When devastating news reaches them from overseas, it becomes clear that Ralph's and Scott's unyielding determination to oppose the conflict has not only changed their lives but also transformed the perspective of an entire community, redefining their collective relationship with the ongoing war.
