[edit] Plot
The “December Boys” are a close knit group of four adolescent orphans, who were all given the same birth month. The boys hope of ever being adopted grows slimmer with each passing year, and isn’t until their first summer away from the orphanage, that the fading hope of finding parents becomes a real possibility – but only for one of them. The boys are befriended by a young couple, who are unable to become pregnant and decide to adopt a child. The four compete to be the most adoptable, severely testing their friendships when long gestating feelings of rejection erupt to the surface.
