The Fence (2022)
Section: Beyond the Childhood Horizon
Directed by: William Stone

Score:
The story follows an 18-year-old working class lad who has his motorcycle stolen the day he buys it. He seeks the help of his scoundrel friends and notorious older brother to track it down before it's gone forever. There is a strong moral theme examining the culture of the period, peer pressure and difficult individual choices. But mostly it's a fun film with heart, that combines nostalgia, strong characters, comedy and a fast paced narrative. Not to mention a terrific soundtrack of ‘80s music!
