"A tormenting and surprising story of children and adults during the stormy days of the summer of 1965."

Described as an "eccentric pubescent love story" and made in the classic style of cult filmmaker Wes Anderson, (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums , The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou , Fantastic Mr. Fox ), Moonrise Kindom tells the story of two 12-year-olds from 1960's New England who fall in love, make a secret pact and run away together to a remote inlet on an island, causing a whole series of unusual events for them and the people around them.

Plot summary from IMDb: Set on an island off the coast of New England in the 1960s, as a young boy and girl fall in love they are moved to run away together. Various factions of the town mobilize to search for them and the town is turned upside down -- which might not be such a bad thing.
