Пронзительная, щипающая чувства драма о том, как мальчик с девочкой дружил, но мальчик был уже большой и бедный, а девочка ещё маленькая и из богатого семейства. В этом городке, где основной заботой жителей была степень ухоженности и постриженности газона, с домами, сошедшими со страниц дорогих каталогов эта дружба не имела никаких шансов и наш герой Трент, подстригавший газоны всех жителей, неслабо ощутил на своей шкуре своё несоответствие этому обществу. Но, почти как в тех сказках, в которых почти жила Девон, всё чудесным образом заканчивается хорошо...
Lawn Dogs is a 1997 British-American fantasy-drama film directed by John Duigan and starring Mischa Barton and Sam Rockwell. The film tells the story of a precocious young girl (Barton) from a gated community who befriends a landscape worker (Rockwell), and examines the societal repercussions of their friendship. Written by Naomi Wallace, the film was released by Rank Organisation, and was the company's last production.
The film uses the folktale of Baba Yaga as a prominent plot device. Although filmed in Louisville and Danville, Kentucky in the United States, Lawn Dogs was a British film produced by Duncan Kenworthy. Lawn Dogs won numerous film awards at film festivals in Europe and met with critical acclaim, in particular for the performances of Barton & Rockwell.
Newly arrived in an up-market housing development, quiet ten-year-old Devon doesn't quite fit in. Ignoring the urgings of her social-climbing father, Devon chooses the company of Trent, who mows the estate's lawns, rather than of the girls her own age. Their friendship grows during her visits to his trailer home, but although it is completely innocent it is obvious that it would be unacceptable to the residents if they found out.
