Danny was a baby when his mother was killed in a car crash. Overcome with grief, his father locked him away in a house, telling him the outside world is full of monsters that will spirit him away like his mother.

Somewhere Boy

A strange sort of fairy-tale

In &apos;The Truman Show&apos;, a man grows up on the set of a virtual reality TV show, unaware of the &quot;real&quot; world outside. Yet Truman&apos;s reality is so like real life it&apos;s hard to feel so much is at stake when he tries to escape. The epnomymous &apos;Somewhere Boy&apos; is this drama is kept cooped up a in Yorkshire farmhouse by his father, who tells him there are monsters outside. Although unlikely, you can imagine this happening; but what would be look like to be such a child, then to venture outside for the first time? Unfortunately, the drama struggles to meet the challenge it has set itself, and there&apos;s a dissonance between the ordinariness of the main story (with its shy but essentially normal protagonist) and the gothic horror of his backstory. More like a collection of illustrative scenes than a complete tale, it lacks the attention to detail that would have been needed to make it ring true.
