Story: During his summer vacation on Nantucket Island in 1942, a youth eagerly awaiting his first sexual encounter finds himself developing an innocent love for a young woman awaiting news on her soldier husbands fate in WWII.

Silent as a painting, the movie shows us day-dreamer Hermie and his friends Oscy and Benjie spending the summer of 42 on an US island with their parents - rather unaffected by WWII. While Oscys main worries are the when and how of getting laid, Hermie honestly falls in love with the older Dorothy, whos married to an army pilot. When her husband returns to the front, Hermie shyly approaches her.

Hermie, in middle age, reflects on the summer of 1942 when he was fifteen, the Americans had recently entered fighting in World War II, and he himself was just entering puberty where thoughts of girls were top on his and his friends minds. He and his two best friends, Oscy and Benjie, and their respective families, spent the summer on an island off the coast of New England, Hermie the sensitive one, Oscy the forward one, and Benjie the meek scared one still closer to being a child than an adult. Although Hermie and Oscy attempted to get as far as second base with girls their own age, they didnt really comprehend the full act of sex, let alone protected sex, only reading about intercourse and seeing the pictures in Benjies parents medical book. As they contemplated perhaps trying to go all the way with girls their own age, Hermie could not stop thinking about the young war bride on the island, Dorothy, her husband who was just shipped overseas into combat. Hermie, who did whatever he could to spend time with Dorothy, had no expectations of her in that manner, as he wanted their friendship to be grown-up yet classy and as she only saw him as a nice young man who sometimes helped her with chores she couldnt manage on her own. But an event that happened in her life would change the nature of their friendship, if only for a brief moment in time, out of emotional necessity.
