The Boy in the Plastic Bubble
A lifetime of loneliness...Or one day of love
Directed by Randal Kleiser
Produced by Spelling-Goldberg Productions
A poignant drama about isolation and longing that centers on a teenager's yearning for human connection and love despite the physical barriers that confine him.
Tod Lubitch is born with a deficient immune system. As such, he must spend the rest of his life in a completely sterile environment. His room is completely hermetically sealed against bacteria and virus, his food is specially prepared, and his only human contact comes in the form of gloved hands. The movie follows his life into a teenager.
