Synopsis

Zhao est un vieil ouvrier qui travaille dur pour gagner sa vie à Shenzen, près de Hong Kong. Lorsque son ami et collègue Wang meurt soudainement, Zhao décide de ramener son cadavre dans sa ville natale. Il achète deux billets de car et prétend que son compagnon muet a tellement bu qu'il en a perdu connaissance. Peu de temps après, le car est attaqué par des bandits en armes. Zhao leur dit de le tuer en premier pour qu'il puisse rester pour toujours auprès de son ami défunt. Touchés par tant de loyauté, les brigands laissent le car repartir sans encombres. Mais au lieu de remercier Zhao, leur sauveteur, les autres voyageurs le jettent hors du car avec la dépouille de son ami…

The film opens with a series of still photographs appearing over melancholic music, representing the abstract memories of the unseen Herman Raucher, now a middle-aged man. We then hear Raucher recalling the summer he spent on the island in 1942. The film flashes back to a day that then 15-year-old "Hermie" and his friends – jock Oscy and introverted nerd Benjie – spent playing on the beach. They spot a young soldier carrying his new bride into a house on the beach and are struck by her beauty, especially Hermie, who is unable to get her out of his mind.

Jimmy Woods (Luke Edwards) is a young boy who has suffered from an unnamed, but serious mental disorder ever since his twin sister Jennifer drowned in the Green River two years earlier. He does not interact with anyone, spending most of his time building things out of blocks or boxes, and he always carries his lunch box with him. He is determined to go to "California", at first nearly the only word he can say since the tragedy. The trauma of the drowning and Jimmy's condition have broken up his family; he lives with his mother Christine Bateman and stepfather, while his brothers Corey (Fred Savage) and Nick (Christian Slater) live with their father Sam (Beau Bridges).
