This is a story that took place in a small town, and it is the same place as all other small towns in the United States. Unruly high school students, young people who are full of sex and ignorant love, children who are always bullied, and couples whose families are at odds. Small bars, family workshop-style cinemas, billiards halls, dusty streets. And the beautiful country princess.
The story is also so plain, full of all possible fantasies in adolescence, learning to drink, kiss, fall in love, and even elope. Learn to be different, muddled and deceived. Learn all the possible behaviors that don't have to pay for it, just in this seventeen or eight-year-old town.
Later the boys all left, and they discovered that apart from making a fool of themselves, they had to bear responsibility in their hearts. They found that apart from the anger caused by hormones, they had to endure sadness. They found that apart from crying, occasionally they could not cry.
The boys are gone, walking into the adult world they once yearned for, but they don't know what is waiting for them in front of them, and what is worth waiting for.
