Annie Silverstein debuts in style and proves that cinema still loves most the weird, mismatched couples—even weirder than Lemmon and Matthau. In her first movie, she shows what could happen if a fourteen year old girl befriended an ex-rodeo star living somewhere in Houston poor suburbs. The girl, Kris, despite her young age, has already toughened up—since the girl’s mother went to jail, she and her sister are on their own. One night she decides to break into the house of her neighbor Abe, who drinks to medicate his injuries and regularly threatens to kill Kris’s dog. This stupid act turns out to be the beginning of a surprising friendship, which no one understands. They don’t understand it either because everything divides them, from their age to their skin color. Everything, and yet nothing. After all, the world forgets a fourteen year old girl as quickly as it forgets an ex-rodeo star.
