Plot: Fred, a seven-year-old art, music and math prodigy, is ostracized by his classmates who view him as something of a freak. His only companion is his warm-hearted, working-class mom. A single woman raising her son alone, she has neither the money nor the education to nurture her son's gift. Invited to attend a summer college course, Fred goes to live with a child psychologist and teacher who has taken an interest in him. Though the woman is excited by Fred's genius, she is unable to provide him with the loving, emotionally supportive environment he found at home.
