Boys things

About This Movie

Boys Things presents a nostalgic dive into a sun-drenched 90s summer in a quaint rural town. We follow Marta, this bright-eyed 12-year-old, as she navigates the joys of childhood—football games, river swims, bike rides, and an annual cabin-building ritual. The film captures an atmosphere of innocence and simplicity, juxtaposed against Marta's inner struggle to fit in. The pacing feels gentle, almost languid, allowing viewers to sink into that carefree vibe of youth, but there's an undercurrent of something deeper brewing beneath the surface. The performances, particularly from the young cast, are refreshingly authentic, evoking that bittersweet essence of growing up—where everything seems idyllic yet there's an unmistakable hint of longing for something more.

Boys Things is a bit of an obscure piece, with limited releases that have made physical copies somewhat rare. Those who appreciate coming-of-age stories with a distinct 90s feel might find it particularly resonant. While it doesn’t have a robust market presence yet, the film is starting to garner interest among niche collectors who value its authentic portrayal of childhood and the subtleties in its storytelling.
