Meditative account of a black youth from NYC who ends up at a camp in the care of a psychiatrist. In a long flashback, we see his life in a neglected home and how he rebels at school. At the camp, he is befriended by a counselor and slowly learns to trust people. The dialogue, by James Agee, is an eloquent and often poetic commentary of his inner struggles, told from the viewpoint of the psychiatrist.
