From the director of Funny Bones and Hear My Song, this is the truly inspiring story of two boys' friendship. Max is a giant, lumbering oaf, taunted, near-illiterate and near-mute. His new neighbour, Kevin, is a bright, tiny, disabled and bullied 'freak'. Together they develop a passion for Arthurian legend, and embark on a series of quests which empower the duo to overcome their challenges. Funny, uplifting, and full of magic.
