The Friends
Things that pass, and things that can't be lost… One summer adventure story of three boys.
113 mins
A delightful and moving coming-of-age story. One summer, three young boys take an increasing interest in an eccentric old man who lives alone in a house surrounded by an overgrown garden. The boys form a bond with the recluse and set about weeding and replanting the garden.
