Synopsis:
Learning that he has not long to live, the teenage Jeff resolves to quickly establish who and what he is, and perform some purposeful deed in the fleeting time allotted to him. His major quest is to find out his father's identity and, in the resulting kaleidoscope of brief, affecting, and often funny scenes, he comes to terms with his family, his friends, and even the first eager rush of sexual longing. In the end his spirit is set free, to soar into space like a kite-seeing and knowing all, but released, at last, from its restless search.
