It's a beautiful, mournful look back at a miserable 1987, wherein a boy's emotions are repeatedly chiseled away by a world that doesn't care that he has any feelings at all. Nobody cares that his nose always bleeds, his friends deride his beloved toys, a girl whom he loves beats him up, and his mom promises that tomorrow will has much worse in store. It's as perfect a tour of childhood depression as you could hope for -- thank God like is only this depressing if you want it to be.
