Little Boy
Jakob Salvati enjoys a poetic life in a small American town, but his world collapses when his beloved father Michael Rapaport is taken to fight in World War II. But the opportunity to meet with a playwright (Ben Chaplin) awakens his inert abilities and attests to the power of faith. Now his devotion to his father will extend from time and space to the world of miracles.
