一勺糖[电影解说]

Millicent is taking a semester off from her studies to concentrate on her thesis about children with severe allergies, which makes her the perfect person to take care of little Johnny, a sickly, mute child who suffers from every allergy under the sun, from nickel to artificial fabric. His overbearing mother, Rebecca, is an accomplished author who is focused on her latest book release, while his dissatisfied father, Jacob, spends sweaty, shirtless days toiling away on a carpentry project in the backyard. The film delves into the intricate dynamics within the family, exploring how each member's actions and motivations impact little Johnny's health and well-being. Through Millicent's unique perspective, we witness the challenges faced by parents in managing their child's severe allergies, the emotional toll it takes, and the lengths they will go to ensure their child's safety and well-being. The narrative is both heartwarming and poignant, offering a glimpse into the everyday struggles and triumphs of families dealing with medical conditions.
