520 _aCentral to this story (set during World War II) is Homer (Tobey Maguire), a young man raised in a Maine orphanage, where the ether-sniffing Dr. Larch (Michael Caine) rules with benevolent grace while performing safe but illegal abortions. To expand his horizons, Homer follows a young couple to do fieldwork on an apple farm, where his innocent eyes are opened to the good and evil of the world--and to the realization that not all rules are steadfast in all situations. Although groomed by the orphanage's proprietor to be his successor, Homer decides to venture out into the world and learns the hard way that life is not merely black and white, but many subtle variations of gray. Is Homer fated to come full circle in his kindhearted journey? It's left to the viewer to decide.
