The Boy Who Could Fly
A very special love. And a very special magic. But is it real magic or just an illusion?
Directed by Nick Castle
Produced by Lorimar Motion Pictures
A tender, magical-realist family drama about connection and transformation, centered on an autistic boy's mysterious gift for flight and its healing effect on those around him.
Milly and Louis, and their recently-widowed mom, Charlene, move to a new neighborhood. Once there, they all deal with a variety of personal problems, but Milly finds a friend in Eric, her autistic next door neighbor. Eric has a fascination with flight, and as the story progresses, he exerts an enthralling force of change on all those around him.
