Overview
When his mom deposits him at the Red Hook housing project in Brooklyn to spend the summer with the grandfather he’s never met, young Flik may as well have landed on Mars. Fresh from his cushy life in Atlanta, he’s bored and friendless, and his strict grandfather, Enoch, a firebrand preacher, is bent on getting him to accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior. Only Chazz, the feisty girl from church, provides a diversion from the drudgery. As hot summer simmers and Sunday mornings brim with Enoch’s operatic sermons, things turn anything but dull as people’s conflicting agendas collide.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow-burning summer portrait of spiritual tension and adolescent displacement in Brooklyn, where a sheltered teenager confronts his grandfather's uncompromising faith and the weight of secrets within their community. It's meditative and heavy, building quietly toward emotional turbulence.
