Growing up in a seaside nursing home run by his parents takes its toll on 10-year-old Edward (Bill Milner), but things begin to look up for the lonely boy when a retired magician (Michael Caine) with a zest for life moves in. Set in the 1980s, this poignant tale follows the developing friendship between Clarence -- a spirited old troublemaker hiding from his past -- and death-obsessed Edward, a youngster unable to live life in the moment.
