Experiencing Interruptions?

The Kids Are Alright

The Kids Are Alright is a coming-of-age story about the search for one's own identity and the quest for belonging.
Eli, Dustin, Milena, Cem and G.T. have known each since the sandbox, and over the years, they've grown together into a solid gang.
They regularly hang out on G.T.'s roof, drinking beer and smoking weed.
From up here, you can see the whole city, everything seems tangible, everything seems possible.
From here, the friends plan their forays into the city.
Then, one evening, while the group wanders the streets, it turns out that G.T. feels more than just friendship for Cem.
