"Homer Wells, a child without parents, is raised and mentored by the orphanage's doctor, a man named Larch. Theirs was an extraordinary bond. Larch taught Homer everything about medicine and what he could about right and wrong. All Homer wanted to learn was the only thing Larch couldn't give him ... rules to live by. Given the chance to leave the orphanage, and the only family he's ever known, Homer realises there is an entire world to discover. His new life provides more excitement than he could have imagined, especially when he falls in love for the first time. But, when forced to make decisions that will change the course of his future, Homer realises he can't escape his past." (la biennale di venezia)
