Movie description:
Daniel lives in a motel managed by his parents in northern Ontario. People come, people go. Daniel hardly notices. Until one day a girl arrives and changes his world. Only is a glimpse into the heightened impressions and dreams of two unlikely 12-year-olds. Over the course of a single day, they venture on a journey, exploring deep secrets, dark fears, and first love in a pure and powerful meeting of young hearts and minds.
The low-key drama follows a day in the life of 12-year-old Daniel (codirector Ingrid Veninger’s son Jacob Switzer), who spends his time reluctantly doing chores around the motel his parents run. The banal rhythm of his life changes when he meets Vera (Elena Hudgins Lyle), the 13-year-old daughter of two bickering parents. The two kindred spirits escape the oppression of the adult world and bond over iPod tunes, imaginary basketball games, and other innocuous shenanigans as they explore the snow-covered Ontario town.
The blush of a first kiss is at the heart of »Only«, Ingrid Venninger and Simon Reynolds’ ode to young love. Daniel (Jacob Switzer) spends his lonely days helping his parents manage the family motel. He’s not the most dedicated of employees (he sleeps in empty rooms, helps strip the bedding, tends to make a mess of things), and when he meets Vera (Elena Hudgins Lyle), his life gets a little brighter. Set against the natural beauty of the Canadian winter, »Only« is a tender look at the birth of romantic feeling.
