Nearing Grace
What if the one thing you want is the last thing you need?
Directed by Rick Rosenthal
Produced by Ironic Films, Whitewater Films
A melancholic coming-of-age romance about a grieving teenager's misguided pursuit of an indifferent girl while overlooking genuine affection from a true friend.
Having recently lost his mother, teenager Henry Nearing develops a crush on seductive classmate Grace, who toys with him. Though he has been friends with Merna for a long time, he fails to see her sincere attraction to him, and instead wastes time with the uncaring Grace.
