This film tells the story of Barry, a teenage boy who believes his friends are more important than his family. He initially dismisses his family's needs and requests, opting to spend his time with friends like George and Lorraine. However, as his friends disappoint him – George borrows his tennis racket and doesn't return it, Lorraine cancels their plans, and his other friends are unavailable – Barry finds himself lonely and bored. He begins to realize the value of his family's consistent support and consideration, especially when his mother goes out of her way to help him. By the end, Barry has a change of heart, actively helps his family, and understands that true friendship encompasses both family and outside relationships.
