The Boy Who Could Fly

“A very special love. And a very special magic. But is it real magic or just an illusion?”

★ 6.3 TMDB Rating · 153 votes

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.
