Miles
Directed by Nathan Adloff
A gentle, earnest coming-of-age story about a gay teenager navigating small-town prejudice through volleyball, grounded in warmth and empathy rather than conflict.
High school senior Miles Walton joins the girls volleyball team in hopes of winning a college scholarship, which causes an uproar in his small Illinois farming town.
