Please note

Sorry, we aren't able to make images or video for this item available to the public online.

When you’re fourteen and in trouble, confusion builds on confusion. Kane’s secret has become too complicated, too painful, too dangerous, and he can’t begin to stop denying. This award-winning and internationally acclaimed film is a study of some of the difficulties affecting all youth growing up in the 90’s.
