Bring out the tissue box for you will need it in the end. It is a true story about a man [played by Donald Sutherland] who spent his whole life caught up in his work, neglected his relationship with his wife and forgot to be a father to his son. One day he has a rude awakening and the journey begins as he tries to regain what he lost by helping a mentally challeged Christian man in his employ find his lost father. Good movie on how God works behind the scenes in our lives without even knowing it. It keeps you wondering how it will turn out in the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hidden Gem, January 31, 2008

Splendid film! It radiates compassion and goodwill. The sheer acting abilities of the cast held my attention and lift this Canadian-produced film from the good to the top-notch.

Donald Sutherland portrays Dr. Robert Shushan, the director of an institute which employs the mentally handicapped in fulfilling orders to commercial sellers (packing boxes, assembling). Somewhere along the way he's left his hands-on idealism behind and become enmeshed in red-tape and bureacracy, neglecting his wife and son in the process. A crisis with his health and a fortuitous meeting with the interesting and eccentric James Jones sets him back on track.

This is a true story; the screenplay was written by the real Shushan and Jones. It's moving and worth watching more than once.

The movie was very good with Sutherland and Fox doing excellent work. Fox was a new name to me as I had not heard of him before Lost. Sutherland is always good. The storyline was not what I expected and I was pleasantly surprised.
