Milo

A failed kidnapping, an unusual friendship and a violent confrontation forces Milo (10) and his parents to embrace the imperfections in their lives.

Milo (10) is unaware that he suffers from a rare genetic disease. He is kept under strict control by his parents; who strive for wealth and success, and are dead-set on keeping Milo’s shameful condition a secret. But a series of dramatic events determine that the family must inevitably take stock of their lives.
