Short description
A withdrawn young man, Leland Fitzgerald is imprisoned for the murder of a mentally disabled boy, who also happened to be the brother of his girlfriend, Becky. As the community struggles to deal with the killing, Pearl Madison, a teacher at the prison, decides to write about Leland's case. Meanwhile, others affected by the murder, including Becky and her sister, Julie, must contend with their own problems.
What's left behind the scenes
- The original title translates to 'The United States of Leland'.
- The film repeatedly emphasizes that Leland has not communicated with or seen his father since early childhood. Leland and his father never appear together in the frame. Even in the courtroom, where both are present, these characters are never shown in the same shot.
