Terry the Tomboy

In the heat of a lazy summer, a small Midwestern town buzzes with the promise of county fairs, backyard games, and the kind of freedom only school‑free days can bring. At its heart is Terry, a confident, spirited tomboy who approaches each sunrise with a list of bold goals scribbled on a weather‑worn notebook. Her ambition is simple yet fierce: to claim victory in the legendary pie‑eating contest that crowns the fair’s champion. The town’s close‑knit atmosphere, with its rows of lemonade stands and the ever‑present scent of fresh‑baked pies, provides a vibrant backdrop for her youthful determination.

When a moving truck rumbles down the lane, Brett arrives as the newest neighbor, instantly sparking curiosity and a ripple of excitement that unsettles Terry’s well‑ordered plans. Alongside her steadfast best friend Duncanty, who shares her love for daring summer schemes, Terry finds herself navigating the unfamiliar terrain of first‑crush feelings. Their interactions are framed by the carefree rhythm of long bike rides, late‑night firefly chases, and the unspoken competition of who can climb the tallest oak first.

Yet summer isn’t just about contests and crushes; it’s also a season of self‑discovery. Brittanica, once a close confidante, now stands on the other side of a widening gap, reminding Terry that friendships can shift as quickly as the weather. Through playful rivalry, shared secrets, and the occasional misstep, the film paints a portrait of a girl learning to balance the fierce independence of her tomboy identity with the softer, more vulnerable parts of growing up. The tone stays light‑hearted and energetic, inviting viewers to feel the warm glow of endless afternoons, the jittery anticipation of a new romance, and the unyielding resolve of a young soul determined to make this summer unforgettable.
