  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
After losing his wife, Ronnie (Nesbitt) moves his two young sons Damian (Etel) and Anthony (McGibbon) to a new home. Nervous about his new surroundings and missing his mother, Damian builds himself a fort out of a cardboard box, where his mind runs wild with sightings of imaginary saints. When a bag full of "Millions" lands on his fort, Damian shares the news with his brother Anthony, but the two brothers have different ideas about what they should do with the money. (Tricia Spears)

DVD Picture:
