Synopsis

​The Foster Boy is a story about an orphan named Max. His biggest dream is to meet a ‘real family’, which comes true when he is contracted to work for the Bosiger family. But instead of finding love and recognition, he is treated like a work animal. The only thing they can’t take away from him is playing the accordion. This gives him courage and tiny amount of self-esteem he needs to survive. When a new teacher from the city recognizes his talent for music, Max gets the chance to perform at the local festival. His happiness, however, is short-lived. Envy and malevolence are stronger.
