Movie description:
A 12 year old boy and his single mother live parallel lives. The boy spends his days alone while his mother works and goes out with her friends. The boy’s solitude is both a source of freedom and a cause for grief. His explorations slowly bring to light the dark contrast between the rules of society and the laws of nature. And before long, the delicate balance of his inner world becomes shattered by unforeseen events.
»Low Tide« is the documentary-like story of a 12-year-old boy who lives in a trailer with his mother who uses drugs and alcohol. He cares for and helps his mother in a loving and matter-of-fact way, despite her total lack of attention for him.
The days pass in boredom – his mother is at her job in a nursing home or in the bar and his only friends are the animals he finds in and around the trailer. Nature gives him answers to the questions of life, but as the film progresses it becomes clear that there are major differences between human and animal society.
Roberto Minervini shot his film with non-professional actors – including the angelic Daniel Blanchard as the nameless boy. Just like the raw camera work, the natural lighting and the basic soundtrack, this contributes significantly to the credibility and intimacy of this subdued drama.
