 ==The original text==
-Sam is a brilliant surgeon whose absolute faith in medical science is shaken when he discovers that he cannot save the woman he loves from cancer. As a result, he orders his wife and precocious son to his boyhood home to cope with the crisis. There, by an old garden wall filled with his childhood toys, Sam tries to both reason his son out of fairy tales and the Bible and to confront his father, a fundamentalist preacher, with his loss of faith.
