麦尔斯

高三生迈尔士梦想离开美国伊利诺州的偏僻小镇、前往大都市攻读电影，然而骤逝的爸爸生前将他的大学基金挥霍在情妇身上，妈妈也因而两手空空无能为力，顿时眼看大好前程即将就此断送，想尽办法排除万难的迈尔士发现一个奖学金机会，就是加入校内唯一的排球队，希望能够让他顺利进入芝加哥的大学，只不过这个机会有点不寻常，并引起轩然大波和强烈反对，因为那是一支女子排球队…… 　　编导纳森阿德洛夫取材自己14岁的亲身经历，不同于一般同志成长电影，本片不聚焦于主角的岀柜经历，而是呈现他坚持己志、达成目标的毅力，并献给所有在成长过程中遭逢意外颠簸的人，如同迈尔士和他妈妈，学习如何独立、秉持耐心、寻得自信，并迎向否极泰来的人生。Miles (newcomer Tim Boardman) is a high school senior who wants nothing more than to graduate, leave his rural town and move to the city to enrol in film school. Unfortunately, Miles' father has squandered his college fund on his mistress. With no cash and staring a dead-end future right in the face, Miles searches desperately for a way out, coming across a volleyball scholarship program that exists between his high school and the well-regarded Loyola University in Chicago. The catch? The only volleyball team that exists at his school is a girls' team.
