Synopsis:
Homer Wells has never known a world outside of St. Cloud's, an
orphanage run by Dr. Wilbur Larch. Larch is like a father to
Homer, who has mastered the art of medicine under his
mentor's tutelage and is expected to take his place when the
good doctor dies. But when Homer gets the chance to
experience life outside St. Cloud's, he discovers that his
destiny is his own to create. Adapted by John Irving from his
best-selling novel, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES explores how far
we must travel to find the place where we belong.
