Lola Martin May 10 2022 2:03 am Brilliantly written, acted & directed. The film presents how appearances can be deceiving when a gifted student realizes his school security guard can be his educational mentor. Following a journey where being intellectually gifted requires emotional growth, support of friends and taking on moral challenges in order for all to benefit. Excellent.
