Gilbert Grape - Irgendwo in Iowa (1993)
Ein kleines Kaff in Iowa. Seit dem Tod des Vaters ist dessen ältester Sohn Gilbert - wenn auch ungewollt - in die Rolle des Familienoberhaupts geschlüpft. Für eigene Interessen bleibt wenig Zeit, denn der Junge muss sich um seinen geistig behinderten Bruder und seine extrem fettleibige Mutter kümmern. Als Gilbert eines Tages die aufgeweckte Becky kennenlernt, packt er die Gelegenheit, seinem tristen Alltag für einige Stunden zu entkommen, beim Schopf.
