Goodnight, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England.
No one likes abortion. It is really easy to say that they should be outlawed in any and all circumstances (this is especially easy for men and older women to say since they will never have to make the decision about the fate of their child...). The issue is much more complicated than the black and white "pro-choice/pro-life" nature it has taken in today's world.
This movie tells an amazing story of a Doctor in charge of an orphanage and his protege', "grown-up" orphan Homer Wells. Homer disagrees with the Doctor's willingness to perform illegal abortions if the mother requests, and sets out to find his own way in the world. He settles on an apple farm where he learns the ways of the world, falls in love, and encounters problems that cannot be defined with his naive view of the world. Yet another somewhat forgotten gem that you should absolutely watch immediately if you have never seen it!
