This is a difficult film to find but worth the trouble. The relationship between the two main characters is remarkable. A middle-aged middle-class wife and mother plops herself down in her deck chair in the new neighbor's backyard- a 30 something bachelor trying to recover from a bad break up. Like when the new kid moved in on the block, they go from weariness to friendship interacting like a couple of elementary school children. Both discover a love of life again through the other. However,as their relationship grows trouble follows. Two stand out performances make this gem work- the two main characters are believable in their childishness. A serious but funny questioning of the price paid and rationales for "adult" life.
