What’s Eating Gilbert Grape

In the heart of a small town, we meet Gilbert Grape - a young man who carries immense responsibility on his shoulders. He tirelessly tends to his mother's physical and emotional needs, as her weight renders her unable to leave their home. In addition, he provides constant care for Arnie, his younger brother who grapples with mental impairments that often lead him into trouble. As Gilbert struggles to maintain a sense of normalcy in his life, he finds solace in a relationship with Betty Carver and a stable job at the local grocery store. However, when the carefree spirit of Becky enters their lives, Gilbert's world is unexpectedly turned upside down, challenging him to navigate new emotions and experiences that could ultimately change the course of his future.
