Plot Synopsis
"Twelve and Holding" explores the complexities of children losing their innocence and adults struggling to guide them. In the suburbs of America, three close knit 12-year-olds – introverted Jacob (Conor Donovan), precocious Malee (Zoë Weizenbaum) and vulnerable Leonard (Jesse Camacho) -- start down the path of self-discovery and begin to distinguish their own voices from those of their parents. Sparked by the tragic death of Jacob’s twin brother, the trio band together as they grapple with feelings of revenge, the burden of grief and the indelible experiences of growing up.
"Twelve and Holding" enters the intricate – and often humorous world where adolescence and adulthood collide, when parents at times seem as lost as their own children. As each family’s personal challenges are revealed, they learn to better understand each other and their own realities.
