Storyline

This movie is a very compelling love story that is hidden underneath the stress of raising a child who has mental instability. In this particular movie I found it amazing how well they portrayed a young boy who had lost almost all functional parts of his brain due to a near drowning accident. His parents fight throughout most the movie about conflicting views of how to raise their son, until one day a plane comes through their roof.

In the end the parents fight about whos fault the accident was and then realize it was both of theirs and they are able to overcome this obstacle.

Charming fairy tale
30 May 1999 | by mermattSee all my reviews

This is a charming little film. It isn't full of special FX or big action scenes. It's a sweet fairy tale about an emotionally disturbed boy who mysteriously summons a couple of cookie "saints" to help save his parents' shakey marriage and to help bring him out of his own fear.

The cast conveys the charm hidden beneath the surface of the story, and the story itself is touching. See it if you get a chance.
