We saw this in a film class and the reason was to show us how not to make a short film. The story was good but the pace and cadence was awful. It seemed cut like the editor was blind and there was no flow what-so-ever. It seemed like a movie that was abandoned halfway through and then pieced together by a sixth grader with A.D.D. And it's a shame because there are some good actors, Joe Lambie being one, and a few veteran actors, one who has played Ronald Reagan many times. The story involves a young boy who hangs out with his grandpa while a bunch of old men are trading things. That's all I'll mention of the plot. As I said, the story is good; it'd be a good campfire tale; or else a short story (if done correctly). But as a film you can see so many flaws, it just doesn't wash. I felt as drowned as that pistol that ends up going back into the big mossy lake at the end (talk about corny). And hey... this film won an award? That'll just go to show ya how much they (whoever they are) know about film-making.
