Ray

2004 · 10 min

A wry, low-key slice of small-town life seen through a restless kid's eyes, dryly funny and quietly wistful.

Overview: A little kid stranded, growing up in a country town he hates. The locals reckon it's a paradise, but as far as he can see, the only interesting stuff happens to a guy the whole town dismisses as a loser... Ray.
How it feels: Melancholic, satirical, warm and cynical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Coming-of-age, isolation, identity, class
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
