BEg2 ch 23 Maimil

[Michael Bailey]

Ernie (Maxine’s dad - earlier I called him Max in error) is supposed to be
at Lincoln Center watching some well-received Kyrgyz movie….

Probably this?

Maimil

A desolate, restless small town lost in the industrial wastelands of
Kyrgyzstan. Plagued by boredom, confusion and sex - all the usual agonies
of adolescence - 17 year-old 'Chimp' (so called because of his ears) and
his friends are killing time by fighting, partying and working in the
railyard before undergoing their military service. Chimp has more than his
share of problems: His pretty and capricious girlfriend causes him nothing
but heartache, his father is a self-loathing chronic alcoholic, and his
long-suffering mother has had enough. She leaves, taking Chimp's kid sister
with her.

(I mean - between that & The Fast and the Furious - you’d have to be in the
mood, wouldn’t you?)
