This film tells the story of a down and out man who is befriended by a young girl on a New Jersey beach. She is very young, and if not under age, naive in the ways typical of a young girl. She is also sensitive to what she perceives as a cry for connection of another soul. Initially, the vagrant wants nothing to do with her, but she persists and eventually gets him to reach back and establish the connection. Parents are more than a little upset by the liaison. The filmmaker does a great job of bringing out this tension, delving into the man's demons and resolving the relationship in a pleasing way. I enjoyed the film and recommend it to anyone seeking a movie that does more than follow the usual Hollywood formula of explicit sex and violence to tell the story.
