A tragic portrayal of a slow-minded boy as a social outcast who finds love and acceptance in the home of the woman who found him in the midst of a stormy night. The movie portrays the negative impact of separation anxiety - not in the usual sense, but in the sense of an almost grown-up man who has the mental capacity of a little child. The bureaucratic system forces him away from the safety of home to a school where he is totally rejected, safe for one girl who feels sorry for him. There is a lot of deeper existential concepts that lingers beneath the surface of the narrative and this movie doesn't fail to deliver a powerful punch.
