Story
Events in the film develop from August 25, 1991 to June 22, 1992. Epilogue - August 23, 1992.
The main character is Charlie, an introvert teenager. After the death of two people close to him, Aunt Helen and Michael's best friend, he is in a depressed state. Once, going into the classroom, Charlie hears classmates talking about a guy who knows how to listen and understand. In addition, he did not sleep with any of them at the party, although he had such an opportunity. Having learned the address of this guy, Charlie began to write letters to him, setting out his feelings and thoughts, without indicating his address, and changed his names to others and similar ones.
Charlie talks about the strange suicide of his best friend Michael, a new friend in the person of an English teacher, sister and her boyfriend, family. Later, Charlie talks about Patrick, who attends labor lessons with him. Patrick everyone called "No way."
After some time, Charlie meets Sam at school football, later he learns that she is Patrick's half-sister. Charlie tells Sam about her feelings, but Sam has a boyfriend Craig, and she advises to forget about her. Then Patrick tells Charlie about the relationship between boys and girls. Patrick and Sam introduce Charlie to Bob and the whole party. Charlie is trying drugs against her will.
The life of the protagonist changes dramatically after these acquaintances: he finally made new friends and is no longer alone. It turned out that Patrick is gay and is dating a school sports star, Brad. Charlie has the first sexual experience with a party girl named Mary Elizabeth, but, unfortunately, he cannot forget Sam. Once he kisses Sam in front of the whole company, everyone takes the side of Mary Elizabeth, condemn Charlie and stop communicating with him.
Patrick’s relationship with Brad ends as the boyfriend’s father found them together. After this, Brad's friends substitute the “bandwagon” for Patrick, and he falls in full view of the dining room. A fight ensues, witnessed by Charlie. He disconnected, and when he came to his senses, he found out that he got involved in a fight and saved Patrick. Charlie's friendship with Sam and Patrick is renewed.
Sam and Patrick finish school and go to study in another city. On the last night, Sam and Charlie kiss, thereby admitting to each other's feelings. Amid the worries of leaving friends, Charlie again recalls Aunt Helen and blames herself for her death. Charlie's psyche does not stand up, and the young man experiences a nervous breakdown. At the hospital, Charlie agrees to classes with a psychologist and more and more recalls his childhood. Conversations with the doctor help Charlie understand that all these years he subconsciously blamed himself for the death of his beloved aunt Helen, and therefore he suffered mental breakdowns.
At the end of the film, Charlie, Sam and Patrick pass under the same tunnel, which has become for them part of themselves and part of eternity.
