Curious often downbeat but generally gripping drama, 24 April 1999
7/10
Author: Michael Muldowney (m_muldowney@yahoo.com) from Dublin, Ireland

A teenage boy with apparent memory loss is undergoing experimental treatment in a cancer hospital. He befriends several of the young patients and his efforts to improve their lot and his own search for the truth leads him to some unexpected revelations. Curious often downbeat but generally gripping drama which had elements of mystery and some deeper things to say about quality of life. A million miles away for this directors previous film (THE BOY FROM MERCURY) although his handing of the young actors is once again highly impressive.
