Meeting by chance when they return to their tiny California hometown, two former high-school sweethearts reflect on their shared past.
A Linklater-esque film that doesn't quite measure up in spite of the incredibly fun, "spontaneous" parts. It reminds me of a personal story: Once upon a time, when I was a kid of 20, wandering across the USA, I somehow ended up in Ohio, staying on the floor in a college apartment with some Oberlin kids. In a smoke-induced, highly philosophical conversation with one, I learned probably one of the most important lessons in my life. This fellow, whose name escapes me, said he was spending a huge effort to close his old relationships. That it was important. It was an epiphany, and a lesson I engraved upon my life. What he was doing is not only important; it's essential to life. Un-closed relationships, are a tremendous energy vacuum in our brain and our life. They prevent us from living in the moment, from the "be-here-now".
