My Way Home

An autobiographical coming-of-age drama tracing a neglected boy's journey from institutional care through hardship toward self-discovery and emotional liberation through an unexpected male bond.

Jamie leaves the children's home to live with his paternal grandmother. After working in a mine and in a tailor's shop, he is conscripted into the RAF, and goes to Egypt, where he is befriended by Robert, whose undemanding companionship releases Jamie from self-pity.
