Martian Child
The story of a man becoming a father... and a boy becoming a son.
Why don't you join a circus?
A young boy, born of drug-addict parents, has spend his entire life in institutions and foster homes. This, plus his chemical-addled birth, lead him to believe that he's actually a Martian. A recently widowed man decides to adopt him, to fullfil his own desire to be a father. This proves to be a major learning experience for both of them.
