Barriers
Sometimes friendship can be dangerous.
1999·1h 36m·★ 8.0
When Tori, an affluent urban teen, befriends Snake, a streetwise kid from Harlem, his concerned parents hire Phil to be his Nanny to watch out for him. Soon Snake's older and more dangerous brother emerges and Phil realizes the job is much more involved than she ever imagined. Quentin Crisp also stars as a strangely profound local deli-owner to advise Tori along the way.
