A profound simple drama in the California mountains. A girl, her brother, the friend of him. A trip and natural pool. And the insistence not real surprising for the context. A push . Try to say the life of too insistent young man. And an inspired end. The cinematography and the performances are the good points. And, not the last, the good construction of story. A film about a specific age, instinct, friendship, trust, expectations and desire. But, not the least, about the step to maturity.
