The Alien Boy
Miki is a young Hungarian immigrant who
is a daily victim of playground bullying. His classmates taunts are mostly
racially motivated. Not quite understanding why he is so “different” Miki
embarks on a journey which leads him to discover he’s, in fact, an ALIEN! The
Alien Boy is a whimsical ride into a young boys perception of discrimination,
alienation and ultimately belonging.
