In this heartfelt coming-of-age tale, we follow the journey of Lawrence Kweller, an introverted high school student who finds solace in the world of cinema. Struggling to connect with his peers, Lawrence secures a job at a local video store where he begins to form a unique bond with his older female manager. Their relationship evolves into a complex friendship that challenges societal norms and encourages self-discovery for both characters. As Lawrence navigates the waters of adolescence, we witness how films serve as an escape and a medium through which he can better understand himself and the world around him. The film artfully blends humor, poignancy, and nostalgia to create a relatable story about friendship, self-growth, and the transformative power of cinema.
