The fourteen-year-old Leah lives with her little brother Theo with her grandmother secluded in the countryside. When the old woman dies unexpectedly, the children are suddenly completely on their own. Leah is overwhelmed with the new responsibility. For the first time she also noticed adolescent changes on her body. Her whole life seems in transition. But Leah wants to hold on to her little world at any cost. Instead of getting help, the grandmother is lying in the stairwell. Theo adorns her with childlike zeal. The house itself becomes a garden of paradise in the middle of which, however, a corpse decomposes slowly. A gathering thunderstorm and a group of overstretched campers suddenly become a threat to the morbid paradise of the children.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
