left before his release from
a juvenile detention center
where he is mercilessly
harassed by the other
inmates. When his mother,
who abandoned him long ago,
returns to take his younger
brother away--a brother he
raised like a son--those two
weeks become an eternity.
Just as Silviu's frustration
evolves into actual aggression,
he meets a beautiful social
worker. Full of conflicting
emotions and wild with
desperation, Silviu is driven
to a surprising act of defiance
as he makes a last grasp at
freedom.

The story centers on a stable couple whose circle of friends and family weave in and out of their lives over the course
of a year. When their 30-year-old son is introduced to friend with a less than perfect love life, it has unintended
romantic implications for them both. Filled with all of the emotion packed into Leigh's 1996 hit, Secrets and Lies.
