Synopsis
Terri follows a fifteen-year-old outsider who wears pajamas to school and cares for his ailing uncle while struggling to find his footing in a small town. When the school principal takes a personal interest in him, an unlikely friendship develops between the two. The film is a quiet, compassionate portrait of loneliness and the small connections that make difficult lives bearable.
