The Good Life - Steve Berra (2007)

Steve Berra (born May 10, 1973) is an american professional skateboarder. Wikipedia. Surprisingly he's also the writer and director of this film prized in the Sundance Festival. The story is about a boy brought up, of all places, in Lincoln, Nebraska. A boy not without some (serious) problems, and surrounded by a bunch of people with their own ones. Among those people a girl, quite mysterious and good looking. There's also an old cinema where they watch old movies. The atmosphere is quite oppresive but human relationships save the day. A particularly touching moment is when the girl sings "On the sunny side of the street".
