twenty -year -old Gilbert Grape works as a seller in a grocery shop and lives in the city of Endora, staff Iowa (population - 1091 people), where he is staring about everything. He would be glad to leave somewhere, but at home he is held by an unbearable (literally) mother, and a younger brother with development problems, and a sister, still mourning the death of Elvis, and a longtime romance with a woman older than him. And then one day a mysterious beauty comes to Endora on the summer holidays, who, rolling around the city on a bicycle, circles the heads of all the guys and will turn Gilbert's world upside down...

“A fresh, sincere romance of growing up - and in the same Elegy time to losers and outsiders who are on the sidelines of the American dream. Like David Lynch’s film, decorated with our local artists-preimivists ”(The New York Times).
