(Bart Layton, UK 2012, 99 min. Digital Presentation)

Rochester Premiere! The twisting, turning tale begins with the disappearance of Nicholas Barclay, a 13-year old Texas boy. Three and a half years later, staggering news arrives: the boy has been found in Spain, thousands of miles from home, saying he survived a mind-boggling ordeal of kidnap and torture. His family is ecstatic to have him back, but suspicion surrounds the person who claims to be Nicholas. How could the Barclays’ blond, blue-eyed son have returned with darker skin and eyes? How could his personality and even accent have changed so profoundly? Why does the family not seem to notice the glaring differences? And if this person isn’t the missing child … who is he, and what really happened to Nicholas?
