Tommy is 13, Mim is 13 and a half, and Kilmer 14. The children design a plan to save Tommy from a malady that threatens his life. Tommy discovers that the world isn't a land of wonderful dreams, but a world filled with pain and much dread caused by adults. A small dog, "Pepino," a shih tzu, teaches Tommy the line between obedience and rebellion. Our choices fill our world with radiance or the dark inertia that drags and mires the soul in a primeval mud. From "Sin," the trilling canary, he learns the mysterious grace that bridges heaven and earth as it drops as the gentle rain from heaven. In the end the children are victorious.
