this story concerns a boy who lives with a 'mad ' foster parent and runs away to search for his real mother. On the way, he meets a tramp who lives in Central Park. The tramp helps him in his search. The lost boy has his keyboard with him and plays music for people visiting the park and , through this, he meets a woman searching for her lost son.
I thought the acting was wonderful. The theme of the film appeared to be that if only we could match people with others seeking the same, then we could heal some of the hurt which exists in the world.Lots of sad people searching for love!
