The Tricky Part, by Martin Moran, is told by an older actor, now in his forties, who looks back on his Catholic school childhood in the foothills of the Rockies. Full of humor and hope, the young narrator is a normal boy in a benevolent world, until a weekend trip with a camp counselor changes his life forever. Over the next three years the man and boy continue to meet in a relationship that changes them both. Is it abuse? Or awakening? A voice on a cell phone today leads to a dramatic reunion. Cecilie D. Keenan directs.
