Jess + Moss

A lyrical tale of two solitary, playful and young souls.

201183 min6.3 / 10

A lyrical, melancholic coming-of-age portrait of two isolated young cousins finding solace and meaning in each other across a transformative summer in rural Kentucky.

Jess, age 18, and Moss, age 12 are second cousins in the dark-fire tobacco fields of rural Western Kentucky. Without immediate families that they can relate to, and lacking friends their own age, they only have each other. Over the course of a summer they venture on a journey exploring deep secrets and hopes of a future while being confronted with fears of isolation, abandonment and an unknown tomorrow.
