- Synopsis:
- John (James Norton), a 35-year-old window cleaner, lives with his three-year-old son Michael (Daniel Lamont). He was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and has decided that he will find the best family to take Michael in after his death. Against the advice of the adoption agency he's working with, John cannot face telling his son the truth, taking him on visits to prospective families under the guise of visiting new friends. But as his condition starts to show, he begins to ponder what his legacy should be for his son - should Michael start life a new or should John leave him with the fools that would allow him, later in life, to know the father he had.

Moving film - Nowhere Special review by TH
This may be low budget but everything from the directing to the acting is spot on. James Norton does a great job as a dying father only wanting to make sure his son is looked after when he's gone. This isn't at all soppy but feels very raw. Daniel Lamont is a great child actor too who acts just like a kid that age would.
Overall maybe wouldnt watch again but it's a well made film with heart.

A spellbinding, devastating, brilliant film - but get your tissues at the ready - Nowhere Special review by giantrolo
What a spellbinding, devastating, brilliant film! Based on a true story, this is a proper tear jerker that is pretty much guaranteed to tug at your heart strings as the story unfolds. Brilliantly acted by the marvellous James Norton (the best villain, Tommy Lee Royce) and the startling new talent of Daniel Lamont. Very highly recommended!
