Sinopsis:
The raw and fragile lives of three preteens unravel in »12 and Holding«, a rich and compelling independent film. When an outgoing boy named Rudy is accidentally killed by two other boys, Rudy’s twin brother Jacob starts visiting the killers in prison to try to make sense of his life and of his parent’s diverse reactions; his mother craves revenge while his father tries to move forward. Meanwhile, two of the twins’ friends also spin off in diverse directions: Precocious Malee becomes fixated on a troubled construction worker, while overweight Leonard obsesses on losing weight and forcing his obese family to lose weight as well. »12 and Holding« moves fluidly between these three stories, gradually building an emotional intimacy with the characters that is unsettling, sad, and finally rewarding.
