Tween ennui serves as the emotional focal point of co-directors Simon Reynolds and Ingrid Veninger's lyrical study of youthful loneliness. His parents so consumed with running their North Ontario hotel that they have precious little time to share with their son, twelve year old Daniel (Jacob Switzer) spends most of his days attempting to avoid responsibilities that include changing the bedding in the rooms and cleaning up around the grounds. The kids from town are always trying to score booze from Daniel for their parties, but he'd rather pass the time breaking stuff and crashing in the rooms than doing favors for them. One day, while stealthily making his way to the pool, Daniel spies a girl just about his age floating face down. Startled, Daniel begins to talk with the girl and discovers that her name is Vera (Elena Hudgins Lyle). Vera's parents are currently in the midst of a bitter separation, and much like Daniel she's frequently left to her own devices. As Daniel and Vera wander the hotel grounds discussing their lives the things that are truly important to them, they eventually come to realize that the thing that binds them so tightly together is their mutual disappointment of not being closer with their parents.
