The Toy Soldiers
The innocence of youth and family is shattered in one evening over a decade of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. The stages of grieving are dramatized in five parallel coming-of-age stories. A young woman who is embroiled in a custody fight for her children seeks peace and tranquillity in the bottle. The cruelty of her ex-husband continues to plague her children, who are a nineteen-year-old heroin addict and his younger brother, who is harassed for being gay in a closet. There's the narrative of the dog, as well as the story of a kid who performs sexual favors in order to obtain acceptance, the story of the challenged classmate who would do anything for her love, and the story of the redhead beauty who is haunted by a secret, tragic history. On this penultimate evening before their favorite hangout, The Toy Soldiers Roller Rink, closes its doors for the last time, their and other people's lives will be permanently altered.
