Wise, funny, and utterly original, Marbles is the story of a who grows up in rural Alabama in the 1930s. He learns about life from a unique group of characters, including his zealous aunt (who is the town lush), his racy uncle (a WWI pilot), his best friend (a math and music whiz), and his first sweetheart, the minister's vestal daughter (who turns out to be anything but).
