Little Secrets

Synopsis (Long)

Everybody needs someone with whom they can share their biggest, deepest secrets. But what happens when the Secret Keeper has a secret of her own? Emily (EVAN RACHEL WOOD) is a gifted young violinist who forfeits her summer vacation to practice for symphony try-outs. While her best friends are having the time of their lives at summer camp, Emily keeps busy as the neighborhood’s trusted Secret Keeper. An objective ear and a last resort for the guilty consciences of the neighborhood’s kids, Emily earns respect and admiration (and a healthy income) manning her post. But Emily has a couple secrets of her own, and they’re too big to tell anyone. With violin practice coming along slowly, huge changes in her family fast approaching, and the neighborhood’s secrets threatening to boil over, Emily is forced to juggle the loyalties of her friends, family and customers. When Philip (MICHAEL ANGARANO) moves in next door, Emily finds herself with a new friend and even more problems on her hands—Phillip’s cute older brother David (DAVID GALLAGHER), also away at camp, has a secret that threatens to bring Emily’s past crashing into the present. A poignant examination of growing up, LITTLE SECRETS is a refreshingly mature film for kids and adults alike.
